pins and needles in my hands?

Question

a week ago I saw the cat creeping up on the birds so I clapped my hands to scare the birds away, and ever since I have had pins and needles in the palms of my hands.

do you think I could of done some damage to my hands.

Answer 1

It could be carpol tunnel syndrome, try water tablets sometimes this will help

Answer 2

hi. I'm an ergonomist so I deal with this kind of thing all the time. Sounds like it could be carpel tunnel syndrome, especially if the tenderness is on your thumb and first 2 fingers. If it is, or if it's any kind of oedema (fluid based swelling) it's better to get it sorted sooner than later. It can get worse, and it's better to know if only to put your mind at ease. For the time being, try eating lots of ginger to open up the capiliaries in the upper limbs (in case it is just retarded circulation). (Ginger tea, root ginger, sugered ginger etc.). Do you work on a lap top? Do you hold your hands above shoulder height very much at work? It can be related to these behaviours (and vibration as someone said) and/or may be hereditary or related to pregnancy. hope this helps.

Answer 3

you probably didn't do any damage to your hands, but you may have pinched a nerve in your shoulder or back that is causing the pins & needles. I would go see a chiropractor or a D.O. and see if they can fix it.

Answer 4

You might have poor circulation, especially if you smoke. I suggest goin to the doctor to be safe, bad circulation can result in having to amputate but im sure it wont be that bad.

Answer 5

sounds like a neurological symptom. See your doctor or better yet, a chiropractor.
