I keep getting the pins and needles feeling in my left hand around the pinky. Any idea why that's happening? Its not like I'm laying on my hand/arm awkwardly. Just happens intermittently.

    Sounds like Carpal Tunnel. Try bending your wrist at a 90 degree angle and see if it gets tingly.

    Oh, and go to a doctor.

    Is a constant cricking feeling alright? Like, think TMJ, but in a wrist?

    that sensation usually means a pinched nerve, but honestly, a doctor could probably tell you better than we could. unless there's a resident PA doctor. If there isn't, there should be.

    got the same thing, usually goes away after a bit. I haven't seen any problems but if your really concerned then you should see a doctor.

    could also just be some poor circulation, are your hands normally cold?

    Nah my hands aren't usually that cold.

    I should also mention I'm overweight and have high blood pressure.

    You could be close to a heart attack or stroke, given the fact that you're over weight, have high blood pressure, and IT'S ON YOUR LEFT SIDE. Go to a doctor.





    Why are you still reading this? GO TO A DOCTOR.

    Its not constant, or anything. Are scare tactics supposed to be helpful?

    It might be serious. Go to a doctor. Don't try to self-diagnose yourself as "OK".
