Jeramie Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I have to type, a lot. My job calls for it and of course my addiction to certain websites. Anyway, just now I was trying to type in a command in AutoCad. My left pinkie just locked at the knuckle! I got it to straighten out and as soon as I did it drew down like your toes do in the middle of the night! That muscle cramp ran up the length of my forearm! Now all of a sudden my pinkie is very stiff and doesn't feel right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutchies Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Hope not..............That's what happens when you made that comment about no carpel tunnel the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrophies Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Be careful with that left arm pain. If it gets worse, don't mess around, get checked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Now all of a sudden my pinkie is very stiff and doesn't feel right. Does it feel left? Sounds like someone needs a calcium or potassium supplement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I had a really bad cramp in my middle toe like that yesterday. It hurt like heck, but I've never had it happen to my pinky. I'd get it checked out If it doesn't subside soon, I were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 All better today. It was a little numb yesterday but got better as the evening progressed. It is sore so Im guessing it wasn't anything serious. It could have been a muscle, joint, or something. Im also leaning toward Chris's idea and going to try some Potassium. I doubt its Calcium, I get a lot of that. Had it been more serious I doubt my finger would have been sore today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Im also leaning toward Chris's idea and going to try some Potassium. I doubt its Calcium, I get a lot of that. When you get cramps, eat a banana. Glad to hear it was cramps and nothing serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Writer's cramp. I've never had it from typing, but I get those exact symptoms all the time if I write by hand much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
