Hi sandy5: It is quite likely that the term is "right upper extremity paresthesias". "parasthesias" is a feeling of tingling or numbness. Your right upper extremity is your right arm. Do you have a tingling in your right arm? For more information on parasthesias, see: Parasthesias http://www.whiplash101.com/paresthe.htm Paresthesias Clinical Resources http://cchs-dl.slis.ua.edu/clinical/neurology/symptoms/paresthesias.htm Of course, since we are not dispensing medical advice here at Google Answers, you should double-check this with your doctor. Thanks. websearcher-ga Search Strategy: I found a medical dictionary at: http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/omd/ and found the words closest to your guess. I then did a search for: "right upper extremity paresthesias" ://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=%22right+upper+extremity+paresthesias%22&meta= and paresthesias ://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=paresthesias&meta= |

Just an additional comment, paresthesias is not a diagnosis but a symptom - just basically a fancy way of saying "tingling". If that is listed as the diagnosis somewhere it is because they have not come up with a more specific diagnosis yet. Paresthesias can be caused by any number of circulatory or neurologic problems. Can also be associated with some metabolic or nutritional problems. They can also be normal, as when your foot "falls asleep" due to lack of circulation from being in one position too long. However if it is limited to the right upper extremity it is less likely normal or metabolic in origin, more likely a circulatory or neurologic problem. Without more history/exam findings it would be difficult to say for sure. |
