REPLIED Check Mark

Numbness in an arm without color change is usually due to compression of nerve roots at neck, or compression of nerves lower down the shoulder or arm.

Is the entire arm numb? Have you had any scans?

What blood test did you have?

ACCEPTED Check Mark

It is good that diabetes and thyroid have been ruled out, You now need a CT or MRI of the neck area to check that there is no compression of the nerves leading to the arm. Your doctor should also do a full range of movement and sensation testing to determine if all pathways have been affected. For example you may be able to feel termperature but not vibrations.
