Question: Hi.. I have seen a doctor about this, but no real diagnosis has happened. She thinks I probably have nerve damage and a bit of anxiety but I want to get a second opinion. I have had a fairly consistent pain in my upper left arm since August. The area had a fresh tattoo on it when it began hurting, could have hit a nerve possibly.. Shortly after that started, my left thumb began twitching (without pain). I texted a lot with my thumbs.. since I stopped doing that it has gotten better, but not totally gone. I still feel tenderness in the base of that thumb and now and then it will give a little twitch. Now though, other fingers on that hand will also twitch occasionally. Feels like electricity running down my arm into my hand. I seem to have my strength, but overuse of that hand results in it feeling weak and twitchy. I do have occasional bouts with sciatica and I drink more than my share of alcohol (I am a bartender). Today, I used my left hand/arm to hold up my phone to my ear for a couple of lengthy conversations and now my left shoulder is sore. Probably need to hit the gym more often than I do.. but I wanted to run this by someone else so I don't continue bugging my doctor with this. Nothing I am experiencing prevents me from doing my job, but doing my job definitely seems to inflame the situation. Pinched nerve, carpal tunnel, something else.. What do you think?
