For months now, my left arm has felt odd. It's sort of around the shoulder and down the inside of the upper arm - feels like it's got a nerve trapped somewhere? Index and little fingertips slightly numb/tingley on that side too, though that comes and goes.
I am TERRIFIED to go to the Doctors as I have convinced myself it's a tumour in lymph glands in armpit or heart failure or Angina.
I always sleep on left side, and spend days at computer, leaning head on left arm. Could it just be carpal tunnel? Had DS2 7 months ago.
I smoke so of course am extra worried that luck has just run out.
Please reassure me or tell me you had something similar and (v important) it turned out OK. I mentioned it to the Doctor at DS2's 6-week check and he didn't seem concerned, but said to come back if it didn't go away.
Thanks.
