My Hand Is Numb

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.

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.

 

he is gettin soft in his old age.

 

if he was a real man, like myself, he'd just drink through it, to hell with the cionsequences.

 

but nope, like a fuckin wimp, he goes running and seeks help.

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. :)

If it is alcoholism causing it I can live with a numb hand! :)

 

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! :laughing:
