A guy I work with woke up one day and couldn't feel or move the right side of his face, he went to the doc and he said that he had a (brain fart, i can't think of what it's called now...) fairly common problem which can be fixed within a few weeks without much pain.  however, if he had waited too long, he may have never recovered the feeling and movement of the right side of his face.  So, if I were you, I'd go see a doc soon.

Hmm.. It appears to it that you are having invisible exorcist trauma, or simply pinched nerve- call a doctor for further analysis or a health help line

You have a pinched ulnar or radial nerve on your left side. The tip off is the fingers involved.  See a neurologist if you want to find out exactly where the nerve is pinched. Rest the area and if your symptoms get worse each day (like you describe) then either you are still aggravating the injury or probably you need total rest of that hand and arm so healing can take place. Healing can take from a few days to months, so my advice is to take this hint from your body seriously before you have permanent nerve damage.\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/pages/4/1661_50313.htm\n\nhttp://health.yahoo.com/ency/healthwise/aa136625

Sounds like nerve damage, possibly a pinched nerve, Don't fool around with waiting and seeing, my sister did permanent nerve damage this way partly due to a dread of the Dr. & partly due to a high pain tolerance.\nTake the same good care of this as you would for a young child in your care.\nBest wishes on this.Also, if it's the left arm, this is a classic sign of heart attack, often with no other symptoms. You seriously need the support of a Dr., please don't wait until you regret it.

The pins and needles thing is a side effect, supposedly it will "magicly" disapear. Pain and constant numbness sounds serious though, could it be diabetes related though? I dont know, go see a doctor. Whats you blood pressure? Remeron lowers it somtimes, might explain weakness. Whoknowes, go see a doctor.

I had a herniated disc between c-5 and c-6 . I went to bed fine and woke up the next day as it had ruptured overnight. I suspect the area was weakened from a lot of heavy lifting the prior day . I had it operated on they cut a slit in my throat and went in from the front and replaced the disc with a piece of bone from a cadaver. The operation took an hour perhaps slightly less . The scar completely disappeared in no time. I do still have no feeling in my right  thumb from nerve damage but the pain is gone except for a bit of arthritic type pain on cold rainy days.

How do you sleep? If you find you have your hands under your body, it could be a pinched nerve like other said. Also, you might reflexively clench your hands in your sleep (sorta like how some people grind their teeth and require a mouthguard to sleep). If that is the case, try to get carpal tunnel hand braces to resist this.\n\nRegardless, I would discuss the possibilities with your doctor when you see him/her next.

Pinched nerve possibly, go to the doctors to be sure.

I actually had this too a few years ago.  It was a fluid filled cist.  They were going to operate to remove it but instead they stuck a big needle in there and it drained right out.  Its been fine ever since.  It was also the size of a pea and times if I used my hands a lot or bumped it it would hurt more.

Could be a pinched nerve. Only a M.R.I. can tell.

No it isn't strictly normal but equally is something that does occaionally occur.  You should go back and consult your doctor and ask for their advise as to the best route forwards.  Possible repeat xrays or more physio or even acupuncture.  Whatever you decide make sure you don't just sit it out, if I had done that i would have lost the use of my left arm!!!

You should see a doctor to get a check up... I know people who have had that happen and it was a pinched nerve or a carpel tunnel problem.. don't worry but as with any problem that is new.. it needs a doctor to diagnose ... Good Luck.. :)

Don't listen to Karasu. Although, if you do, or if you do anything in excess with your right hand, you could be developing carpal tunnel syndrome. Seriously, if you're in school and write a lot or if your occupation requires excess use of your hands or anything, you should see a doctor if it continues. Some carpal tunnel sufferers need to have their thumb drained, fluid will build up putting pressure on the muscle and joints causing shooting pain! It's usually no big deal, but in most cases the pain is pretty severe. Try to pay attention and if you see any swelling at all, go to a doctor within a week or so if possible. If you don't get treatment soon enough, it can cause permanent damage. A lot of people have it. Don't worry.

Could have been allot of different things, you should defiantly seek medical help. Call your doctor and make an appointment, they may even suggest yo go to the ER. \n\nOff hand, I would say possible seizure or stroke.

hasn't seemed to hurt your typing any.. are you sure it's broken? and if it is..  hold your hand above your heart to reduce any swelling and make an appointment with a Orthopedic Physician to set it. The ER only stablizes broken bones, they do NOT set them in casts.. this is done after your ER visit an Ortho office. You may have trouble sleeping tonight, so take a tylenol PM. Use your other finger to change the channel on the TV.
