Have any one that have had an ICD/ pacemaker ever felt tingling in left arm from elbow down to fingers? My left pinky finger even feels numb sometimes. I have had an ICD since 2020 and just now in the past 3-4 months been feeling this sensation sometimes, I will have it checked out soon, just wondering if anyone has felt something similar with an ICD, could be my nerves in my arm, who knows.πŸ€”

Hello everyone, thanks for your responses. I had a Doctor's appointment Wed..and my doctor said the part of my lower arm that was feeling crawling or tingling is from a nerve that runs in the pinky finger and could affect other fingers; she call the nerve name but I forgot it's name, it runs along the inner arm. She said it usually sometimes goes away on its own. She said it comes from putting pressure on my arm by propping on it, which I do often. She said try to avoid that, and inflammation meds can help some (which I can't take) or low dose Prednisone. Sometime it's something to live with.
