Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Tingling is the first symptom of nerve irritation. This could either be a pinched nerve say at the spine level or carpal tunnel syndrome or it could be peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes or hypothyroidism. Nerve conduction studies will be diagnostic.
Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral.
Hope this helps. Take care!

i sometimes get this when im riding a bike or writing... it feels like a sharp tingle which makes e twitch in my hand. It doesn't hurt but it feels uncomfortable when it happens. It could be a trapped nerve? maybe visit a doctor and get a check up. They will test your eyesight and the movement in your joints. I hope this will help you :)
