Sigh...Okay, so the back story, I was working out a couple months ago. Doing "iso" curls, when I feel my ulna nerve spike (funny bone), I didn't think anything about it and kept on w/ my work out.
Three weeks ago, my left hand is numb, like a novacane feeling. My ring and pinky finger are colder than the rest of my hand. The outside palm, is cold as well. I cannot feel anything on that side of my left hand. Which sucks b/c I'm left handed.
Well, last Tuesday, I was cooking and my hand went to sleep...the needles feeling. SWMBO looked at it and told me to go to the Doc, and if I didn't I would have to deal w/ her. So, being the fart smeller, I mean smart feller, I made an appointment w/ my Doc. Now...I'm going to have an MRI scan, blood work, and all kinds of mumbo jumbo fancy stuff done.
He made me do some test in his office, squeeze a tennis ball and junk which I failed. Cause now...I have no strength in my left hand. I can't even close a pair of finger nail trimmers w/ my left hand. (Which makes straight shaving fun)
I've searched in the intarweb and read about some of the tell tell signs from numbing of the left hand, carpel tunnel, heart and/or neurological problems.
Anywho, I had to vent..been worrying over nothing, I hope. Hopefully its just a pinched nerve at the base of the ulna. (I REALLY REALLY HOPE)
