haVoc 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2006 Last night I went 4-wheeling and my right hand is messed up now. The pinkie side of my hand is really numb, feels like needles and pins while my pinkie, ring, middle finger and half my palm have a tickle feeling going through it. Also weird, I have strength when I make a grip, but I have none when I put pressure on the fingers. Like if I try to poke something. I can't even type with them. I doubt it's serious since there isn't any real pain, but I'm on my way to the doctors because I took today off from work. Hopefully he'll say I'll have the stength back in a few days and I'll have a nice 4 day weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open the Muggy Gate 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2006 I had a topic about it almost a month ago. Everyone was telling me it was a stroke. Way to put the fear of God into me guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2006 I think I have a pinched nerve around my bicep/shoulder, so where the rotator cuff (?) would be. I haven't gotten it checked out yet though, the local sports doctor can only realistically look at one problem at a time, and a possible torn meniscus is much more serious. I had a similar problem in the same area about two years ago, and it kinda healed up on its own, so I'm not too worried about it. I don't think you should be either, though it's obviously best to get it checked out if you can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haVoc 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2006 Just got back. Doctor said it is a pinched nerve and it should only take 7 to 10 days to fully heal. He said don't be surprised if my hand and forearm began to swell and bruise. If it does he said to soak my arm in warm water a few times a day. The reason it's only on that part of the hand is because the nerve runs down from the elbow. He kept checking my forearm and I told him it felt fine and then he pushed on a nerve in my elbow and I nearly jumped off the table. Sent a sharp pain straight down my arm and into my hand. Doctor said I should feel lucky because if it was my thumb and index finger that was bothering me that means the nerve is running down from my neck. Anyway, I got my wish. Nice 4 day weekend.
