Yes, you read right. It tingles and it is not a good thing.
I started to have the tingling sensation on my right thumb a few weeks back. Thought it was just the occasional blood flow problem. It turned out that this is serious. The thumb tingles and my arm started to have this dull pain.... and feeling weak. What the "tooot"!!!!!
I finally made time from work to go see the doctor, have x-ray taken. Gee, the doctor said I have cervical Scoliosis and spondylosis, whatever. It is a condition where your vertebra bones are not straight but slightly curved. Mine curved towards the right so this side is pinching the nerves if I keep my head at a certain position.
I have to experiment a bit to understand how the tingling sensation happen.

I was given a month's supply of medication to help improve the condition.
Now the bad news. If things get worse or not showing any sign of improvement after one month, the only option so far is to go for operation to remove parts of the bones to relieve the pressure on the nerves.
I do not like to go under the knife but do I have a choice. Permanent nerve damage which can happen over time may cause partial or full paralysis of the affected arm. Now that is scary. And it is my right arm.
When the time comes, I may go for second opinion. Until then, just have to do my exercise to strengthen the muscles on my neck and with the help on the medication, hope for the best.
Hey, my typing speed will be halved if my right fingers are not working. Shucks!
Maybe someone can help type for me.
