A member asked:
I got a paper cut on my pinky finger and i'm experiencing numbness that travels up to my elbow . will this resolve on its own or do in need a doctor ?

Unlikely: This is unlikely to be related to the paper cut. I suspect that you may be suffering from "a tennis elbow" or carpel tunnel syndrome. If NSAID does not help, consult your doctor.
