    If its your left arm, take a couple of aspirins and see a doctor. You cant be too careful with heart conditions.

      Whaleboy, true.. if you get dizzy, disoriented and little pressure in your chest added with stinging feeling in your left hand.. better get next to phone and ready to call ambulance.

            I got my finger caught in a car door and it got cut really bad. It was a door to a mini van and I had a huge gash on my finger. The bleeding stoped and part of my finger above the cut was numb for a few weeks but the nevers grew back and my finger is just fine now. That was a couple of years ago.

              If you took too much Nitrous oxide your fine nerve endings can go numb. Take some B vitamins to help stave it off.

                Nah, just take it out of your butt and everything will be fine.

                    I got a numb thumb playing four-player MarioKart 64 last night. And a headache. But I won.

                      mariokart is a fun game.

                      still numb, by the way, almost 24 hours later.

                        I slept on my arm funny once (actually, when I woke that day, my wife was laying full on it) and it was completely numb and swollen.

                        That particular time, it took a lot longer to get full feeling and use of it than normally. So maybe no big deel. Then again...

                        (Btw, I have an ear infection that is hurting a lot and won't go away.)

                          I think you and your thumb may have some underlying, serious relational/communication problems -- your thumb might feel that you're neglecting its feelings, so therapy for you two might be in order.

                            Don't worry about it, I work at a hospital and this happened to me once. I talked to a doctor about it and he told me not to worry about it unless it persists over more than 1 day.

                            Next day it was gone.

                            But, in you case, it could be a tumor.......

                              I get that sort of thing sometimes from bad posture or getting a crick in my neck while asleep - nerves being pinched in the spinal chord.

                                What is it like? Have you had this before in the past?
