Numb forearm

7 replies

I've noticed over the past week or so that my right forearm seems to be a bit numb compared to the left. I only notice if I scratch - the left feels normal the right is dulled as though I'm scratching over fabric. In case it's relevant, I had DS 3 months ago via emcs, no complications with epidural and healed well from section. I did have carpal tunnel which was very painful in my right wrist during pregnancy.

Anyone else had anything like this? Bit loathed to make a gp appointment because my arm feels slightly funny!

Could be the carpel tunnel. I would get it checked

Heart attack.

Just to add: it's similar but not as extreme as the numbness I have around section scar area, which I know is totally normal. Also if I push mid for arm, I can feel something in my wrist so maybe nerve related?

Yes. Carpal tunnel is a trapped nerve. I have one but it's coming from. my spine but causes similar symptoms
