odd injury

[StockyardStoic]

last night, i got triangled several times and although i don't tap until it's super tight, i always tap well before i would black out.

anyway, after one of the triangles, i couldn't feel my left index finger, thumb, and part of my forearm. there was no trauma on my arm or hand that night. just triangles. it lasted for about 24 hours but it sorta feels normal now.

wtf is that shit? anyone know?

Who knows? Doesn't sound serious but you might have done something nasty to your neck.

Oh, and this is not really the place to get medical advice.

 

[irc]

Folding your arm across your chest/neck (as it should be when getting triangled) could have put pressure on your brachial plexus, which is a network of nerves in your armpit area that serves all of the arm and hand. You probably just pinched a nerve.

well i'm not really worried. it's more about curiosity.

if it seemed serious, i would not pass up the hospital for sherdog forums. :]

sounds plausible. thanks.

Yeah sounds like you pinched a nerve, should get it checked out even if it went away, there could possibly be more damage in there...

 

[codemonkey76]

maybe you had a stroke
