Numb Thumb
Strangely my right thumb has been going numb lately. I think it might be RSI related. I am going to take some advil to see if it’s just some wrist swelling or something. Anyone else have problems with this?

Nope .Only RSI was wrist pain that was fixed by moving to ergo keyboard. Occasionally it crops up when using a laptop a lot, but so far I’ve been pretty lucky.
Well, I quit using a mouse altogether…it’s not yet fixed though. Though that did seem to help. Perhaps a trackball is in order
my tip of my thumb has been numb for like 5 days now and i’m starting to get worried. I have been have ing neck pain and am going to see a carpractor. I will let you know what happens. If any one has any ideals please post. I’m 34 and in good health. I thought.
Hi Joel, and thanks for posting. I wouldn’t get too upset, see what the doc says. I am 34 as well, perhaps it’s the age when the body rebels ;)
Post back and let us know how you make out.
My right thumb, in one night went numb. I ten key all day so the obvious thought was Carpal tunnell. But according to the 3 doctors I been to they csn’t explain why its numb. My nerve conduction test came out that every thing was fine. Wll its not my thunb is still numb! Aaaaggh
