i'm not a huge fan of doctors. they overreact. test for things that aren't wrong. take a million years to discover there's nothing actually wrong with you. suggest unnecessary treatment/medicine/surgery.
so, anyway, yesterday my left pinky finger was numb.
i know it's because of my new job. it's been feeling "weird" towards the end of every day, but last night it was like...n.u.m.b. mostly. it's not carpal tunnel related. i learned that on the internet. carpal tunnel has to do with nerves in your other fingers, but not your pinky. pinky finger. gosh, i hate that term. little finger isn't any better. ANYWAY. there's a nerve that effects the little finger, and leaning on your elbow can trigger problems. which i do all day long while i'm on the phone. so i'm going to stop that. adjust the height of my chair. request a headset. and we'll see what happens. last night i slept with my arm straight out (the internet said to), and it made the numbness go away. i like the internet.
