Some pain and numbness in right hand/forearm more pronounced with computer usage. mostly work related. what is the problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Overuse injuries: It sounds like you need to visit your physician to have an examination. Overuse injuries occur when we apply repetitive strain to our muscles and joints. Your work environment may need to be looked at. In addition, if the numbness happened all of a sudden, with your history of hypertension, be able to recognize the signs of a stroke and call 911 immediately if you have them.
