Lower Back Pain - Neck Pain - Tingling - dullness

Patients with neck or lower back pain may have tingling and/or or dullness due to irritation of the nerve roots in the neck or lower spine.

Trigger Finger Surgery

Tingling and/or dullness in the first three digits of the hand are related to C5 nerve root (thumb), C6 nerve root (index) and C7 nerve root (middle finger) involvement. Similar symptoms in the last two digits (inner aspect of the ring and itsybitsy fingers) are related to C8 nerve root irritation.
It is essential to rule out nearnessy of carpal tunnel syndrome with entrapment of the mean nerve at the wrist that can give rise to tingling and dullness in the first three digits of the hand. With carpal tunnel syndrome, the symptoms are restricted to the fingers.

With C6 nerve root irritation, there will also be tingling and/or dullness at the back of the forearm. C5 nerve root irritation can cause tingling and/or dullness along the outer aspect of the arm.

Tingling and dullness in the last two digits can also be related to ulnar nerve irritation at the elbow level from persisting tendency to lean on the elbows or sleep on the arm. Although there may be dullness along the inner and lower third of the back of the forearm with ulnar nerve irritation, there will not be symptoms in the inner aspect of the front of the forearm. If this region is tingling is numb, think also involvement of the T1 nerve root.
Tingling and dullness in the foot in the region of the first three toes can be related to L5 nerve root irritation. The dullness may also involve the top of the foot and the outer aspect of the front of the leg. However, irritation of the peroneal nerve can also give rise to the same symptoms.

The peroneal nerve can be compressed whether at the knee from tendency to cross legs regularly during sitting. The other coarse level where the peroneal nerve can be angry is at the front of the ankle from tendency to cross the ankles during sitting or in bed. In this situation, the dullness may be related only to the first web space in the middle of the big toe and the second toe.
If the symptoms of tingling dullness are in the last two toes, irritation of the S1 nerve root need to be considered. The symptoms may also be felt in the sole of the foot. These same symptoms may be noted with irritation of the tibial nerve at the inner aspect of the ankle due to nearnessy of tarsal tunnel syndrome.

However with S1 nerve root irritation, there will also be symptoms in the heel whereas in tarsal tunnel syndrome, there will be no symptoms of tingling and dullness in the heel.
The cause of the tingling or dullness must be evaluated by a physician. If conservative rehabilitation is to be taken, massage is helpful. In the early stages, symptoms of tingling and dullness may be relieved by immediately massaging the muscles often as many times as potential every day.

Selective activation of muscles using eToims Twitch Relief formula can aid the rescue of the nerves and fully eliminate the tingling and dullness if the rehabilitation can be done as soon as potential after the symptoms arise, preferably within 24 hours.
