I've had similar feelings to yours;

1. It seemed when I slept or laid on either side my whole arm would go numb.
This was very frequent months ago. Today it's much less noticeable But does
occur occasionally.

2. This is a strange one. I never had complete numbness in my jaw, but I
could take my tongues rap it back and fourth between my top teeth. I would
then feel tingling/numb sensations in my lower jaw. Today it's much less.

3. More on my left wrist than right, if I tap on the inside of my wrist it
would send nerve irritations up my hand. As if someone was playing my wrist
nerves like guitar strings. I am left handed

My own experience is that levaquin did develop some kind of nerve compression
irritation. It does seem to be directly related to any perssure I put on
those nerves. At times I could jump up and down and would irritate the nerves
in the bottom of my feet.

Well, good luck and hang in there.
