No, I don't bowl anymore. Multiple Sclerosis put an end to that.

foot in mouth

'Tis OK Thursday, please don't feel bad.

I did learn to play bocce ball last summer- somewhat like bowling but only one ball as a target & without the heavy ball - can be player outdoors in the yard.

Since I started wearing my wrist brace to bed I've actually been sleeping better. Much less pain at night.

I was waking up in the middle of the night with hand & finger numbness, & severe wrist and arm pain; pain right up to my elbow. All my fingers were numb but the worst ones have been my pinkie and the ring finger.

Even with the wrist strap on I still have numbness in my ring and little finger. I think it's probably Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, but if so .. why the pinkie numbness, and why the pain up to my elbow? I've not mentioned it to my doctor yet as I have too many other things happening at the moment.

I think with carpal tunnel the whole hand, or all the fingers anyway, get numb, tingle, fall asleep.
I never got CT, but the drs always tested me for it.

the ring and pinky fingers symptoms are usually from something impinging on your ulnar nerve.
Epicondillitis??{sp} aka tennis elbow or golfers elbow - i had a dx of those at one point..
plus i had dx's of DeQuervains, tendinitis, bilateral wrist strains, chronic soft tissue injury, and chronic cervico/thoracic spine strain with arm pain...
ta da...

Thanks Jo.

I diagnosed myself as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, but maybe Tennis Elbow fits as well, even though my elbow doesn't hurt.

I'm fine during the day. It's the night time that hurts and when all my fingers go numb.
