I am having numbness on my left thumb, point finger and middle finger. I am having problems with my left shoulder too when sleeping on my right side, shoulder pain like it is disconnecting. I had this problem since I had a car accident last 1993. Had surgery done on my left shoulder but I didn t have any record of what the doctor did. I hope I am not having heart problem or being diabetic. I won t be able to call my doctor not until Monday due to New Years weekend. I was searching the internet and I found something about Pectoralis Minor Trigger point. Please need help. Thank you. God Bless and Happy New Year.
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned you met an accident in 1993 and had surgery done also, the type of surgery to know is important. If any plate or screw is present it may lead to irritation to the nerve and may give such symptoms. How is the strength in your upper limb. These symptoms can arise due to even because of the nerve getting trapped in its course or may be in the cervical spine region, for which you may need an MRI / CT scan. Which can help us if any nerve getting trap due to disc lesion.Maybe you need some neck and upper limb strengthening exercises post that your numbness issue will come down. You can even take guidance from a physical therapist what exercises can be performed, and he will surely assist you. Also, getting once checked by a cardiologist and heart check will be on a safer side. Prevention is better than cure. For more query if you have any you can contact me directly.
