Hi everyone,

My name is Jim and I just joined NeuroTalk today. I have been experiencing a wierd buzzing sensation in my left elbow and forarm for about a month. Of course, I googled it and after a lot of dead ends, I was lead to this group. Although my "symptoms" are very minor, I thought I would join to learn more and take advantage of your collective knowledge

So, I'm glad to be here and was wondering if anyone's concerns started with just a very localized "buzzing" or "vibrating" feeling. Thanks!

Jim

Hi Jim,
Your description reminded me of symptoms I had sometimes during my RSI/TOS injury.
{repetitive strain injury /thoracic outlet syndrome.}

What kind of work or hobbies do you do?
could it be from a repetitive type injury?

Have you looked up cubital tunnel, tennis elbow, golfers elbow or ulnar nerve pain?

Is there any ongoing tension or tightness in your neck or shoulders?

.....very localized "buzzing" or "vibrating" feeling....
This is a very common symptom of PN.
Are you seeing a neurologist who specializes in neuropathy?
Have you been tested?
See www.lizajane.org for lists on testing and follow-up.
Read thru the 'stickies' at the top of the topics page. You can search them for 'buzzing' and come up with past info.

Welcome Jim. I am sure you will find the answers you are looking for.


For anyone else on the forum, why exactly do nerves buzz and vibrate? I have always been curious about how that works....

Hi welcome. This is a warm and very smart community. Have you been to any doctors yet or for testing? Do you know anything that triggered this?
