Members overwhelmingly confirmed experiencing hand tingling and numbness similar to the original poster, with many describing the sensation occurring in their arms, legs, and feet as well. Several members shared that their doctors attributed the symptoms to fibromyalgia itself, while others discovered underlying conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar tunnel syndrome, or degenerative disc disease that required specific interventions ranging from nerve tests to surgery. A recurring theme was the importance of getting properly evaluated to rule out other causes, along with practical relief strategies like ice therapy, massage focusing on shoulders and forearms, acupuncture, and staying mindful of hand and arm positioning throughout the day.

Yes, it's actually a symptom of Fibro usually, but to be safe you might want to get it checked out. I've had pins and needles for years. I tend to try to ignore it or shake it out if I can. It's also in my arms, hands, legs and feet.

Yes I do however I have degenerative disc disease and have already had one fusion in my neck. I know it sounds crazy but when it's bad ice on and off for about 10 min at a time helps sometimes.
