Minor Pain

[bjarvis]

A few days ago, my left forearm had twinges of pain from the elbow to the wrist. I figured a muscle or two were complaining about some minor strain so didn't pay it a great deal of attention.

The pain hasn't faded. In fact, yesterday, the pain was distinctly sharper and focussed, and it is now difficult to rotate my wrist and hand in any meaningful way, making typing a challenge.

Trusting this is some sort of repeat of prior carpal tunnel issues, my left arm is wrapped up in a wrist restraint for the next couple of days. No one ask me to help them move furniture for a week, OK?

I noticed Saturday evening my left shoulder also had some acute issues but I wasn't sure if some pinched nerve in my back was causing issues for my arm, or if the pain in my arm was causing stress in my shoulder & back. I'm a total massage whore anyway so now I have a medical excuse for a backrub. If this persists, I may search for a chiropractor for a more thorough manipulation.
