5. Numbness
Remembering that feeling is actually a very useful way to remember the full range of symptoms you might be feeling. Another symptom you might remember from your last ‘dead arm’ is the numbness. This can be a very strange sensation and if you touch the area it can either result in a kind of imprecise ‘buzzing’ sensation, or it might not be felt at all.
Again, this is a result of information not quite making it all the way up to your brain. You can imagine this a little like taking the cable that goes into the back of your TV and scrambling it slightly! The picture might come through fuzzy, or it might not come down at all.
