    Thanks, Guys! Are there any exercises to do? My thumb and first few fingers have this numbness going on. I suspected my shoulder as the cause. The new office has a weird slanted chair that I slide right off of. I end up pushing myself back every few minutes. Now my shoulder is doing a weird popping thing. Since I have been doing binaural beats for my hand, a few pins and needles, which seems an improvement from the partial numbness. Too much typing finally got me, I guess...😄 Thanks in advance for any advice. 😍 God bless y'all🙏

Sometimes it’s numb, sometimes it’s not. It’s always painful now tho. And I use my hands arms and shoulders constantly to make a living.

    Hi there, i recently did some heavy lifting back in mid-May. Around that time i experienced groin pain associated with lower back pain. Im not familiar with the different sections on the spine but i have felt a faint shooting pain and a stiffness. This pain is often asdociated with a shooting groin discomfort. There is no leg pain, and it does not travel up the spine. Its not severe pain but i do worry it may become worse. I have not seen a Dr. Yet. I was curious as to what you might think.

      If it's constant, it sounds like it's diabetes, in which case these tests wouldn't help much in making a determination. You said "arms". Is it in your hands too? You probably should see a Doctor, if you haven't already.
