so I'm having a helluva time typing because over the last hour, the "outside" part of my right hand has gone almost completely limp. this is freaking me out a little. like if you stretch all your fingers out, they point straight out and away. when i do it, my pinky finger no longer points out, it sorta points down at a 45 deg angle. it's causing me to type all retarded. I have no numbness in it so I don't think this is carpal tunnel starting. (I hope not.)

1 year ago I was in the emergency room for excruciating pain in my arm/shoulder on my other side. turns out I herniated two discs in my deck in a skydive. i never had surgery, just a truckload of steroids and vicodin. i'm wondering with my neck getting sore lately if this is related. shit. any med people in here ever heard of sudden onset partial paralysis in the hand? I'm starting to worry. My pinky finger is next to useless right now. I can contract it, but extension right now is a complete joke.
