Have I pinched a nerve? ?!
Question: Have I pinched a nerve!? !?
My left hand (pinky and ring finger to my wrist) have been numb for the last 3 or so days!. It feels like when your foot goes numb!. It's tingly but I can't get rid of the feeling of numbness!. I have heated and iced it!. I don't know what to do!. Could it be a pinched nerve!? Do I need to go to the Doctor!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Well it is nerve related, usually the ulnar nerve in a problem like this!. If the finger is cold though, you need to be thinking about a blood supply problem (this kind of neuropathy is not a good sign)!.
Take weight off the elbow (i!.e!. your elbow off the desk) and leave the computer mouse alone for a day or two!. See if this helps first!. It may be Carpal Tunnel Syndrome!.

That is far more likely a lower neck pinched nerve (C8) than the ulner (though both are possible)!.
You need to see a good chiropractor!.
Have you been working a lot at the computer or driving lately!? That's often the cause of this problem which causes tension and pressure in your neck and shoulder!.
