Hand problem

  My right hand has been suffering from "pin and needles" sensations (like numb / cramped) due to possibly long term awkward computer usage.

  But it's been like this for several days.......

  I am a little worried....

  What should I do?

  X-Ray see bone nia. Unless he fractured something, otherwise no need. MRI is more viable but ex. Likely to be carpal tunnel syndrome...my friend has it. Get those gel-filled wrist rests and rest your hand once in awhile. Worse case...change your mouse hand lol.

  It is best to consult a doctor. My colleague is also having the same problem and also his arm feels cold. He went for a checkup and found that the nerve touching his spine due to a groxth in bone spur. Surgery might be an option but could be too dangerous. He is trying acupuncture now...

  Yesterday I saw a doctor....he said let's wait for 1 week....it will heal by itself possibly.

  Now I check this thread, I made it on 10th Jan, that means it's actually been more than 9 days. Actually more than that, because when I made the thread I was already suffering for several days.

  I think I wait a few more days and go see a doctor again and ask for a specialist, if it persists.

  Btw my message to all of you....please do not use your computer mouse wrongly.

  Computer mouse is a very dangerous object, now I realize.

  Haizz....

  Up to now I am still not fully recovered.

  Anyway, I read up more info on internet.

  It says it can take months to more than 1 year.

  :(

  I still cannot fully use my right hand, like eating (using utensils), and other fine motor skills.

  instead of self diagnosing, why not see a doc?

  I did, I did.

  He just said wait till it heal by itself.

  Now it did subside, but not fully recovered yet.

  This is a problem which is quite demoralizing to me....

  Sometimes at night I am in pain before sleeping.

  :(
