[|Human|] I was wondering if it is possible to experience peripheral neuropathy only in the arms and hands and not legs or feet? I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic several years ago, took medication to control it and then was taken off of it due to my ability to control it on my own. The last time I had a blood glucose test (fasting) I was at 99. I have been experiencing numbness and tingling in my arms and hands though, and my middle finger on my left hand continuously feels a bit numb. There is a history of MS in my family, should I consult a neurologist?
[|AI|]  Your complaints seems to be involving only upper limbs. Few neuropathies may involve upper limbs first like porphyria, diphtheria, multi focal motor neuropathy with conduction block, vasculitic neuropathy. But definitive diagnosis can only be made on examination And nerve conduction study. Another possibility of Carpal tunnel syn Chat Doctor.  I should recommend you to visit a neurologist for better assessment. Hope you get well soon.
