Ahh...pins & needles....you know that annoying numbing, tingling thing...well I've somehow damaged/bruised a nerve in my hand/arm...the nerve that runs from the tip of your little finger all the way up to the back of your neck and this has caused constant pins & needles!!

I've had it now for almost 30hrs straight!

Have to keep moving my arm and had to keep it to a minimum....prolonged stillness and it throbs like a rampant rabbit! The doctor said I have to wait a week to see if it goes away before I can get an appointment at the hospital to check where abouts the nerve is damaged and what can be done.

Stupid random injuries.

ive had that a few times, its annoying.
not the crazy nerve stuff, but the long pins and needles for hours and hours in the tips of your fingers

It runs from the tip of my little finger in a line down to my elbow...which is where the Doctor assumes the nerve got damaged as that's where it's most exposed.

It's so bloody annoying!! 30hrs + so far and potential for days more...ugh.

You know you can block the pain if your mentaly strong enough. People learn a technique to ignore signs of pain.

Or just take aload of pills and see which takes the crappy feeling away...
