what is wrong with me?

[raildogg]

So last night around 2AM or so some of my fingers on my left hand got very numb and I cant lift them or use them properly. Now it is 10AM and same thing.

What could be the problem?

Drop the wang and use one of those stress reliever balls instead.

Carpal tunnel?

Heart attack..

Overuse?

I do most of my driving with the left hand ... but other stuff with right. hmmm ...

Are you left-handed?

Is the numbness just on your hand, or do you feel it on the entire left side? It's possibe that you have a pinched nerve.

pinky, thumb work fine. the other fingers are not lifting properly, not moving freely.

is it just your hand or the left side?

left hand only, more specifically, some fingers

Last time I had something like that happen, I was having a mini-stroke. Had several now; they say it is from my migraines...

Numbness for 8+ hours is not a good thing.

A trip to the ER would be wise, especially if you're middle-aged.

You might have a pinched nerve, but no one here has any real way of telling you what's wrong. Why on earth would you come to an internet forum for medical advice?

I had something similar once....it cleared up after a few days....I was able to move my fingers, but they were numb and tingy....

Looks like it's useless now. Time to cut it off. Why carry that extra weight for nothing?

Pinch nerve as other has suggested, blood clot, cancer, brain tumor, or heart disease.
