Default Any doctors in the house?

Since i woke up this morning ive had this very very slight feeling of pins and needles in my right arm, going from my hand all the way down my arm.

As i say its only very very slight, not like full on pins and needles, i can move it fine, feel things etc, it just feels different to my left arm/hand

I havent done anything or knocked it but im on a pc alot at work so obviously my right arm is static on the desk moving the mouse but i never had this before
any ideas? been thinking of going to the docs but i dont want to if its nothing and it will go away in a day or two.


p.s i dont want any jokers posting thanks, this isnt in the muppet room

Sounds like the onset of Focal Dystonia......are any of your fingers curling(ie:when you straighten your hand one or more fingers curl up towards your palm)
It`s a repetetive stress problem,quite common in guitarists and people who have a lot of repetition in their movements

Can be treated fairly successfully with physio but obviously you need to seek professional advice(your doctor)as i could be wrong,but it does sound like some sort of repetetive stress injury....
