Edit: I've been reading up, and from what I can find it seems like my ulnar nerve (resposible for sensations in exactly the area affected) may be trapped/inflammated/stuck somewhere, definite doctor's visit now. Strange how I didn't find things earlyer, must've missed an important keyword in searches before.
So...I am having this really weird problem since about 2 months.
See, my left pink has been going numb lately and it's getting worse. It started out a bit like how it feels when you have been lying on one of your hands, though it was very faint back then.
Ever since it's been getting worse slowly, and extending from the very tip (where it began) down my finger, sometimes all the way into my wrist. At that time the whole part where the bone from the pink goes through is completely numb.
When it had been going on for around two weeks the tip of my ring finger also started to become affected, luckily it hasn't gotten worse in that finger (yet).
Excessive use of my pink (basically just forced stretching exercises) makes it worse in around 10 seconds, up to the point where pain is starting to become overruled by the numbness (and I mean all the way, not just that it hurts less).
I'm dead serious about this, as it's been getting worse to an alarming point. Also thinking about paying a visit to the doctor to get it checked.
Could it be that the blood is just not getting through properly or is it possibly even an early onset of CTS (carpal tunnel =/) or something else altogether? Has anyone here ever had something comparable?
Small edit: It's always there, 24/7, though sometimes worse than other times. I have the idea my sense of heat is much more affected than sense of touch.
