The causes of numbness and tingling can be multifactorial. Some common causes include:
Nerve Compression: Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or a herniated disc can compress nerves, leading to these sensations. Peripheral Neuropathy: Often caused by diabetes, this condition involves damage to the peripheral nerves. Vitamin Deficiencies: Deficiencies in B vitamins, particularly B12, can cause nerve damage. Multiple Sclerosis: This autoimmune disease affects the central nervous system and can cause paresthesia. Infections: Certain infections like Lyme disease or shingles can affect the nerves.
