Two weeks ago I pulled a muscle in my arm. A few days later a small area on my wrist turned numb. Now, its still numb but the rest of my arm hurts.
There was numbness, like went a foot falls asleep, except painless in one half of my brain. It lasted around 10 seconds and then affected a small part of my arm, then stopped seconds later as I tapped my brain lightly.
