So I have had pins and needles in my arms for 90% of the day for the past few days. Today I saw my personal trainer and asked him if we would work on some upper back exercises and see if I can get rid of this nerve pain. We did 5 different upper back and arm exercises and after my session, I was pins and needles free. I am so glad they are gone (for now). It will probably only last a day but its definatly a day I need off from this nerve pain. I cant take meds as they make me drowsy so working those back muscles have relieved this pain for now. Now if only I could see a neurologist but I have been unable to get a referral from my dr other than physical therapy which I am unable to afford and they do the same thing I could do at home with heating packs and stretches. 2 years with nerve pain should get me in to see a neuro. I see my doctor in Sept so I am going to ask him again since Ive lost weight and still have the pain

Are you alternating ice and heat? Sometimes just using heat can increase the feeling of pain. Ice is your friend! I wish you well.
