A member asked:
Is it normal for my fingers to go knumb while typing, after getting a sharp pain up in my shoulder?

No: It's not normal for anything to go numb while doing daily activity. You could have a nerve entrapment or carpal tunnel syndrome. There are tests to diagnose or prove this. See your doctor to get tested. Good luck.
