daytripping Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Any medical experts out there; my left hand is kinda numb and my lower arm feels a bit stiff, been like that since yesterday morning, been googling and if it was a stroke or heart attack it would have happened by now so have ruled them out. Anyone ever had similar? Will go to the docs tomorrow if its still the same but thought I'd come to the fountain of knowledge first. tia Link to comment

I though that would be pain at the joints, this is a numb with light pins and needles feeling. Link to comment

Poor circulation my friend, caused by clogged arteries. Not much you can do except wait for the inevitable heart attack. Link to comment

Bluto10 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 aids hopefully thats all it is. he's fought bigger battles than aids and come out the other side. Link to comment
daytripping Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Cheers Roberto, that could maybe be it, will do very little work today and chill out in the smoke shack, will hopefully get better on its own. Link to comment
tup Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The last thing you want to be doing is consulting a doctor. Better to either hope it goes away or failing that consult some football fans with no medical training for a back of a fag packet diagnosis. Link to comment

Coopy100 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I would be having a massive wankathon dayts. It will feel like someone else doing it for you. Magic. I'm jealous. Link to comment
daytripping Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Carpal tunnel syndrome. Just looked at the symptons for that on the NHS site, sounds like mine to a tee, could well be. Will see how it goes today and call a doc tomorrow if its the same or worse, not that bothered as i'm right handed and only use the left for picking my nose. Cheers.......the hat could well make NHS Direct redundant one day, the mods should open a medical clinic thread where we could all offer our life experience advice. Link to comment

Some other nasties on that list though, will maybe get it checked out. When it first happened I was driving my car, I thought...shit, heart attack! I'd just borrowed my mates electric planer, my next thought after heart attack was If I die he's probably not going to see that ever again, luckily enough I lived! Link to comment
tup Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Lot of near-death experiences on here recently. That's what happens when you wish death on others via the Dead Pool. So I say Karl Fletcher is to blame for all this drama. Link to comment
