Overview. Numbness and tingling are unusual prickling sensations that can happen in any part of your body. People generally notice these sensations in hands, feet, arms, and legs. Many things can cause numbness and tingling, including sitting with your legs crossed or falling asleep on your arm.
Tingling in one hand can have a number of causes, including an injury, staying in one position for a long period of time, a circulation problem that impairs blood flow to the hands, or carpal tunnel syndrome. Tingling in one hand can also be caused by nerve damage from extreme heat or cold or from toxic substances.
Inadequate blood flow. Inadequate blood flow in the body can cause numbness and tingling in both your left and right arms. Restricted blood flow to the arms can result from injuries or from underlying health conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or kidney failure.

Information for Patients. The brain, spinal cord, and nerves make up the nervous system. Together they control all the workings of the body. When something goes wrong with a part of your nervous system, you can have trouble moving, speaking, swallowing, breathing, or learning.
Major types include. Diseases caused by faulty genes, such as Huntington's disease and muscular dystrophy. Problems with the way the nervous system develops, such as spina bifida. Degenerative diseases, where nerve cells are damaged or die, such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
Also called: Neuritis, Peripheral neuritis, Peripheral neuropathy. Your peripheral nerves are the ones outside your brain and spinal cord. Like static on a telephone line, peripheral nerve disorders distort or interrupt the messages between the brain and the rest of the body.
