Tingling/numbness in face, arms and legs. Walk isn't normal

Hi @briam, Welcome to Mayo Connect. From what I’m reading you’re experiencing symptoms of tingling and numbness in your neck and head. And you’re also experiencing forgetfulness or getting confused? Have you had this evaluated by a doctor?
Sometimes nerves can become compress when muscles or tendons are inflamed do to an injury. That can be something as simple as spending too much time with your head bent down working or moving ‘just right’ while exercising. Do you remember injuring your neck or back with a fall, doing anything that has jarred your neck, been reaching over your head for extended periods of time? That type of activity?

You mentioned you’ve been fine but had an ‘internal’ on your gut. Does that mean you had a colonoscopy or some imaging where you were lying on an exam table perhaps in a position where it’s not normal for you? Did this numbness, tingling and forgetfulness start occurring again after you had this done?

I don't if this will help. My left shoulder has gone numb, and I questioned my Neurologist about this. He thought I could have a pinched nerve, on top of PN.
I don't have an answer. I only want to help you know it could be something else going on.

Contact your and see what he/she thinks is going on with you.
Prayers,
Pat

I have a similar problem except it is limited to the right side. The tingling started after prostate surgery 2 years ago. During my hospital stay, I recalled blood was taken on the right arm every 3 hours. Sometimes I was stuck a number times due to the difficulty of finding a vein which led me to believe that a nerve was damaged during the process. However, the Neurologist ran a number of tests with no conclusion. I try to manage each occurrence by massaging my finger tips and arms which causes the tingling to subside.

id been waking up with my scrunched up hands the tingling just came out the blue i seem to be more aware of my forgetfulness but ive been like it most of my life its like everything else some people say they don't worry about there health till something happen to them but ive been ok for 20+ years it either that or ive never noticed it till i finished work three years ago

then again it could been having to breath that gas and air for my gut examination pretty interesting to see your own insides nitrous oxide an air supposts to deplete vitamin B12 dont forget this stuff goes right to your brain

i often wondered why i passed people whos heads were bent over facing in a down position know i now spinal problems

Yes people need that extra confidence to push what ever thew problem maybe
thank you
most kindly
