Numbness on top of scalp

Posted by marjoriem @marjoriem, Jan 19 7:33pm

My PCP sent me to PT because of severe cramping in my right leg and tinkling in my toes. She believes that nerves in my spine are constricted due to degenerative Arthritis. Oddly enough, lately I've been experiencing some numbness on my scalp that comes and goes. I did a search and seems that it could be a symptom of nerve issues but it could also be caused by other things. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this and has nerve issues.

I had something similar a few months ago when I was recovering from a severe UTI infection. It was more than a tingling, it felt as if there was an electrical charge running all across my scalp. When the antibiotic finally cleared up the infection, the tingling faded away and didn't return.
