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.?Health Question & Answer
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).
