Hello,
I have had the same problem two years ago. i underestimated it and I couldn't feel with the hand for one and half year! I was afraid I will be never able to feel again. In my case it was caused because I used to lye on my elbow and I have destroyed my nerve there. i felt pins and needles for one and half week and afterwards anything. The doctors suggested me surgery after 3 moths, which I have refused because of side problems. than I have found on the internet one lady that works in Slovak spa in rehabilitation. She has suggested me some exercises and later I attended the spa itself and after few weeks things started slowly to improve.
I advise you following (That helped me):
- Take pills of B vitamins (B6 and B12 especially) You can take even more than 500% of advised daily intake of these vitamins in this case.
- Fill a bucket with dry corn or beans plunge your hand in it and try to move your fingers.
- Stimulate nerves by electrical stimulators like TENS ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcutane... )
- If no improvement appears and your doctor will not prescribe you rehabilitation, I strongly advice you pay one for yourself in the spa ( I tried in Slovakia, and I was very satisfied, but I have also heard that in Czech republic there are also very good spas )Health Question & Answer

I don't mean to scare you or anything, but doesn't numbness in your left arm indicate you are at risk of having a heart attack or something.? That would explain why it started when you were boozing and smoking. I recommend you look into that. Try googling your symptoms.Health Question & Answer

It isn't a heart attack. Those pains are severe and shooting and believe me you know what they are. This happened to me and it was a pinched nerve in my neck. I was cured by a Chiropractor manipulating (cracking) my neck back into proper alignment.
Good luck.Health Question & Answer

My mum has the exact same thing. She's had it a few years now, hers is a trapped nerve. She was given some medication but it didn't really help. Not sure there's anything that can really be done but i would see your doctor anyway.Health Question & Answer

more than likely you've slept funny and trapped a nerve, on the other hand it could be serious, go and see the quack feller.Health Question & Answer

my partner just had this! his left arm was going dead on and off throughout the day, it turned out to be a trapped nerve, go to your doc's to get some pain killers.Health Question & Answer

Pins and needles usually come with pain also. Cause from a pinched nerve. See a Dr.Health Question & Answer
