Pins and numbs, you must be sitting your arm in a position for a
long period of time. Blood vessels serving the nerves may have been
compressed for a period of time making the nerves deprived of
nutrients and oxygen. They will then start to cry out for help by
giving out such pins and needles sensation and also a feeling of
numbness.
The thing is, did you have this problem only recently or did you
have this problem over a long period of time, and having difficulty
in sleeping as well, as the pain comes at night.
Did you feel the same pins and numbness sensation over your left
fingers as well particularly your thumb, index finger, middle
finger and half of your ring finger?
Are you on any medications as well?
Mods, I will be away for a few more days, so if you see this post
and the consult, please continue the relevant question on Carpal
Tunnel syndrome of this problem is prolonged and chronic. If it is
not, please help me to advise the patient on proper ergonomics in
his working or studying environment. Thanks in advance!!
To a_splash, you can read up on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in advance!
