Pins and needles and weakness in any one area of the body is not natural. You really need to seek medical help and as quickly as possible. You have 24 hours per day/night, the same as everyone else, in other words you do have time so no more silly excuses. Indeed you should always make time to attend to your health needs so get to the doctors pronto..

Definitely Carpal Tunnel I have had it for yrs ,you can have an operation , but I have my own business also I love riding my motorbike so I will not be having OP , go to the DR'S and get diagnosed , the DR gave me a splint to wear in bed as mine happens when I sleep ( where's the vibration you may ask you haven't heard my hubby snore)

I believe you have carpal tunnel.
If you do repetitive motion at work, stop if you can. They sell wrist braces for it.
You should be doing wrist exercises before work, and like every 1-2 hrs during the day.

This does sound like carpal tunnel syndrome. Do you do repetitive work?
It could also be a trapped nerve in your shoulder or elbow, but whatever is causing it you need to rest your left arm and see a doctor!

HELLO! You could also be experiencing a transient ischemic attack...prelude to a stroke! Call your doctor NOW...I was 31 when I had my first TIA and I had three of them,but thought it was carpal tunnel and ignored my symptoms because,of course I was too young for that! I had a stroke 3 weeks later.

Don't know, but I've had exactly the same thing for over 2 months, (but also goes right up my arm) now and it's driving me mad !

could be carpel tunnel syndrome...but you need to get a proper diagnosis, have you injured your neck recently? could be pressure on a nerve..... if it doesn't ease see a doctor, youmay just make it worse!
good luck : )
