So before I go into meltdown over possibility of a stroke let me explain what has been happening...

Got a new Simba mattress about 2 weeks ago. 2 nights in I woke with the most awful stabbing pain in my left hand which went off after around 10 mins. Then over the next few days I was getting some pinch nerve type tingle in my lower left back only lasted an hour and then my left breast was getting this odd buzzing feeling which lasted around 3 or 4 days. That has now gone but now I have tingling left foot (and right side a little) and a tingly left lower cheek by my lip.

Does this sound like it is all connected to the same nerve issue? Dr busy until Friday and I do not see it as an A and E job but all Google says is stroke!

Doesn't sound like a stroke to me, but you should see your GP. They will probably want to run some blood tests. I get weird one-sided tingly feelings when my thyroid gland is on strike.

Thank you @theconstantinoplegardener I will see them on Friday. Where do you get your tingly feelings x

I get tingling and numbness in my fingers and toes and also in a little patch at the corner of my mouth. All on the left side! I was really worried about them at the time, but haven't had it for years now.

If you are worried that your tingling might be down to a stroke, could you call the NHS 111 number? They will ask you about other symptoms, and direct you to A&E if necessary. It might reassure you to be assessed by a medic.

Oh and I used to get a buzzy feeling in one buttock too - like a mobile phone on vibrate, except I didn't have one.
