I was cutting a lot plastic canvas today and when I was almost done realized that my thumb was numb. If isn't getting any better. I hope that it will soon fell good and it doesn't mean that a nerve is being pinched.

That blows, pinched nerves are no fun especially in the hand/fingers or elbow area's cuz it can make you really worry.

Have you tried doing a bunch of hand movements and stretch's cuz sometimes that can help.

Yes, I did. But to no avail and I need to cut some more today. Worried about doing that.

Well...time to pull out the cleaver. I'm sure it'll clear itself up in a few day's time. I injure my hands all the time at work and never had numbness last more than 2-3 day's. I dont know if that's saying much though considering i smashed a toe and didn't realize it until months later when someone pointed out that my toe pointed the wrong way and it never had before.

I'm thinking it actually might be carpal tunnel. When I scratch the top of my forearm then it made my wrist tingle down to my thumb.

That kinda blows chunks. Hope your wrong and it turns out to be nothing.

Yeah, that would be most excellent but it's still being effected by just about everything I do. But I have been stretching it and stuff and it seems to help.
