hey bro, it sounds alot like you are starting to get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I've had CTS in both hands/arms, and mine always tingled if I picked anything up and bent my wrist the wrong way. Its caused from the median nerve being pinched that runs from your finger tip all the way up your arm. After 6 Months mine has finally started to go away. It still tingles every once in a while but for the most part rest is only thing that will help it. Just take Advil/Ibuprofen 800mg 3x a day, and that will help relieve pressure off the nerves. gluck bro

yeh dude i think its carpel tunnel mysel I have numbing myself and its a mild case of cts do you have a history of it in your family

or a pinched nerve in your back/neck. I have had that issue before and a visit to the chiro took care of it. But CTS is also a possibility.

impinged nerve, see a physician

It's thoracic outlet symdrome (TOC). I had it before where my arma nd fingers were going numb. I lost some strength on that arm. I had a CTS done on it and it came out to have an pinched nerve not allowing the signals to travel. I had to lay off of all overhead presses and benching but there are other ways of training. Take my advice, you'll be fine...Here is some info for you ..

What is Thoracic Outlet Syndrome?
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) consists of a group of distinct disorders that affect the nerves in the brachial plexus (nerves that pass into the arms from the neck) and various nerves and blood vessels between the base of the neck and axilla (armpit). For the most part, these disorders have very little in common except the site of occurrence. The disorders are complex, somewhat confusing, and poorly defined, each with various signs and symptoms of the upper limb.

Tos

I get something like that too. Find that if I over it, sometimes get what I can only describe as a sensitive nerve being plucked like a guitar string. Goes the full length of the arm. Doesn't bother me much and rarely happens. Also get numbness in my little finger sometimes also. This happens during the day. Keep thinking its poor circulation. Not connected the two until now.

Is this a mild case of TOS also ?
