Answers:
You have a case of carpal tunnel syndrome. Using the mouse and the computer keyboard a lot causes that. there are exercises on the net that help you to get rid of the pain. But seeing a doctor is important too.



The most important thing to do is to get up from your desk and move around every 1/2 hour

Extend and stretch both wrists and fingers acutely as if they are in a handstand position

Straighten both wrists and relax fingers

Make a tight fist with both hands and bend both wrists down.

Take your arms out to the sides with the palms facing down. Extend your fingers and stretch through the elbows. On exhaling, rotate your shoulders back and bring the palms facing up.

Nerve Gliding exercises.
Keep the wrist neutral and bend the fingers towards palm. Now straighten the fingers and bend the wrist and fingers backwards. Stretch the wrist, fingers and thumb backwards. Spread the wrist, fingers and thumb with the palm facing the ceiling.
Tendon gliding exercises

Keep the wrist neutral and stretch the thumb away with fingers straightened. Clench last 2 knuckles of each finger towards the palm with the wrist neutral. Slide the tips of the fingers as far past the palm and stretch thumb backwards while keeping the wrist neutral.

These exercises should be repeated 10 times. Then the arms should be left hanging loosely at the sides. Shake them for a couple of seconds

Consult a doctor. It is much better than getting advice from shtupid ppl. in this forum.
Go to the doctor immediately. Being your left arm could be heart attack(s).
Or, it could be as simple as carpal tunnel syndrome. I'm having a similar issue with my right hand and went to the doctor yesterday. Will know for sure later this week.
But seriously, go to the nearest urgent care now!
dont worry mummie u will be fine !

No one is too young to have a heart prob. YOU need to get a Dr. to check U out IMMEDIATELY. Could be nothing but WHY take a chance on something so serious?

Good-Luck
