Numbness, tingling, left side esp hand arm, pinky, weakness - std?? neuro?

I am a 25 y/o male with these same symptoms, only right now its happening to the tip of my right pinky. I've been told that pinched nerves in back/wrist can cause this.

hi i got the same thing, i think it could be hiv, im waiting on test results

Im 45 male with same numbness in left fingers and hand, went to doctor and dr did not have a clue what was going on, is it excessive alcohole? is it that I always lean my left arm on the corner of a table at work and at home? i had this now for about four months and not getting any better, ive now noticed my little finger is begining to turn inwards like claw hand.

i am 43 and have just went through a battery of tests. so far nothing is coming up wrong.
i had MRI,lumbar puncture, blood work.
i have had 3 days of I.V. solumedrol. still numbness, and a feeling like i am burnt continues in my left
from fingers to neck and down right side and across chest.

The fact that there are more people who feel numbness in the left hand near the pinky area around the same time (including me, that is why I'm searching the web to find out what's going on) make me wonder if there is some commonality in all of this. Could it be the water we drank? The type of food we ate? How 'bout we start with demography? Is all this numbness in the left hand around the pinky area focus on population in one area or across the country?

I live in Los Angeles, CA.

I'm dealing with the left hand issues too. Mainly pinky and ring. I'm reading through this and havn't seen an answer.

I'm slightly overweight, have high bllod pressure, smoke, drinik (not as much anymore) and don't exercise. I also have a high stress job.

I'm only 27 and know I need to take better care, but what is going on with the hand?

My left arm tingles and cramps at various points in the day, but gets much worse when I'm trying to sleep! That's the main reason why I'm writing this at 5 in the morning. It seems to have started from a workout sessino mainly consisting of benchpress - the first workout in almost 6 months. Right side is not sore any more, but the left is still all fudged up. Left pectoral feels very sore just like the first day afterward and this was like a week ago when I worked out. Hope it's just a pinched nerve. Thought I was having a stroke or something at 24. I think I'm gonna stop all recreational cocaine use. Cheers and good luck to all!

hi

is everybody using macbook pro ? :-)
probably it's a coincidence, but my left pinky finger started to tingling after i bought my new latop. it's so warm on the left side, that it's quite uncomfortable.

I have the same symtoms as most of you. tingling pinky and ring finger. i'm 27 years old male. I swim every morning, don't smoke, almost no alcohol, no overweight.

The problem is progressed yet, but I have to take it serious. My mother is 53. She has some autoimmune disorder. Tingling, weakening arms/legs. She receive Intravenous Immuneglobulin (IVIG) treatment. It doesn't really help, but the doctors can't really do anything else.
Has anybody get the same treatment ?
They say it's not inheritable, but I tend to not to beleive it.

I'm overseas and I don't have insurance, so I can't go to the doctor now. Any info would be extremly appreciated.

thank you,
Peter

I have the same numbness and tingling on my left side. My girlfriend has it too. I think this must be a STD. I've been to all kinds of doctors and had all kinds of tests. Has anyone out there actually found help?

let me know what you've found. Thanks...

I've got the same thing...left side. Tingling and some numbness in my hand, aches throughout. Occasional chest pain on the left side (which goes away pretty quickly). Mainly the hand worries me. I'm thinking it's a pinched nerve, personally...I sometimes walk with a cane (thanks to a car accident ten years ago), and I use it on my left side. I'm 99% sure it's not an STD, as I've been celebate for almost six years (religious vow) and this only started about a month ago. Of course, googling my symptoms, I could have anything from a pinched nerve, to diabetes, to a heart condition, to cancer, to dehydration, to bell's palsy, to a thyroid condition...why can't this stuff just be simple?

i think its hsv or hiv , did u get tested for that?

I went through these things myself.I was put through EVERY test imaginable.They told me MAYBE MS maybe Mini strokes.And i was 27.The only thing they found was a cholesterol level of 680.Which was stroke level.Has any of you been checked for that.After extensive research it causes lethargy,weakness in arms legs.Also had caused vision disturbances.I have severe panic attacks now 12 yrs later.But have never done that again.I have only found 1 thing.Ask them to do a PT.Be checked for your blood being too thick.I set up blood clots both PE and dvt.And id evidently had this awhile.My small toes are numb.My ring and pinky finger stay numb.Its a shot in the dark i know.BUT if you have any symptoms of toes turning black,pain in legs.ect PLEASE ask for a PT. Hope ive helped.

I have to agree. i have numbness in left pinky and side of hand. the sudden rise of these symptoms seem odd indeed. there seems to be a strange amount of people here who suddenly have these same symptoms at the same time. image the people who haven't found this post. what could it be? are you worried? should i worry?

Hi All,

After i read all of your write and all the visit to the doctor and come back with all the negative blood test, and no deasease.

Yes, i did the extaxy <-- hihihh to much fun> and something to much. I went to my chineese doctor, and he told me not to have more then two per month. But for my case, it is all in my head. It is like my whole skull is being rearrange. My whole body seem to be fine and only feeling a little bit archy heart. ok, there are other sympton like i forget thing, forget how to spell word. My jaw crack when i open my mouth, ear drum pop and i can do it at will yet somthing it hurt but not it not hurting no more. More of like will power. First it from the ear jaw and left ear and now it on the right ear and right jaw. My thing is to think this is a positve thing that happen to me. It is increase my sense and that is all of my senses: Touch, smell, taste, vision, hearing and my other sense, the six sene. "an example of this six sense is like knowing my friend will call me on my phone before the phone right, know what other think, but don't ask them because they will tell you that you are crazy because there are scare kakak, I ask my friend if telepathy is real, he denny and denny me until one day we are at the club and we both roll, and I can understand him and can hear everyone at the club, even the DJ were thinking. I ask him if telepathy is real. He confesses it is real because i was the one talking to him all night long and other friend at the club ask me to ask him again. So, there is my experience, eat more fruit, salad, meat, and take your centrum. Exercise, warm up real good so that your body is fully warm up like walking on the tread mill. Run slowly, this will get your blood going and all of your muscle, bone, nerve sytem going again. i have not going to the doctor yet. I was thinking of going to an American doctor, but why should i, my friend did it for 8 years and he is fine. So, don't eat too much extaxxy. Hello!!!! What control your body? Your brain!! Exercise, 3 times per week ONLY and do it under control!!!!! or less depend on your ability. Don't over do, but the point is to get all of your muscle going and the blood going again. muscle memory...... This is my thinking. please reponse to my write up i want to know and will check back on this link again.

Think Positive and good thought and hang out with positive friend!!!

Peace out :-) Love ya all oh yah think of God that help me the most!

Sounds like ulnar nerve entrapment, from what I've read so far. I have the same thing, and it's from a nerve in your elbow being pinched in some way. I've heard B-12 supplements have been known to help, trying to keep the elbow straight if possible, not leaning on your elbow. Hope that helps!
