What might a tingling/numbness in my left hand mean? Most specifically my little finger and my ring finger. I would say I've gotten a shot of numbness/tingling every 5-10 minutes for about an hour. Is this bad?

Maybe if you would untie all those bondage straps you use, it wouldn't be so bad.

No, I have a girlfriend for a reason. I'm seriously wondering about this.
It will only be a matter of time before she realizes you are in it only for the sex and dumps your sorry ass.

Then why are you asking ATOT?

Sounds like a pinched nerve or something, but I'm no doctor.

Oh come now. Why would I not ask ATOT. It's mostly because if I am having a heart attack, I would be proud that I posted about it.

Does the tingling stop if you raise your arm over your head?
Does it stop if you put your left hand on your right shoulder?
Has it happened before or is this the first time?
Do you use your left hand to control your mouse?

1. Seems to.
2. Also seems to.
3. This is the first time it has ever lasted so long.
4. No.

You may have a pinched nerve in your neck. Stop sleeping on your stomach, use a flatter pillow, see your doctor.

I had something similar, had a couple bad discs in my neck. This sounds familiar. You need to go see a DR.

I can't do that. Must be a disability.

I get something like that if I lean on my elbow too long, like just those two fingers are falling asleep. Goes away as soon as I move my arm, so I'm guessing it's a nerve/cutting off bloodflow kinda thing.
