Check you workstation position, position in chair, keyboard/mouse positions. It could just be simple CTD from something that shifted.
Sometimes my shoulder and neck hurts. -
Maybe something about the ergonomic conditions at work or during commute? Physical activity should help; doctors probably do not if that's the only symptom and it's not severe.

I get occasional tingling and numbness. Usually it's just a warning to change my posture because my arms is upside down and triple left turned so my blood won't flow properly even if it's a very relaxing position.
A while back my middle finger kept getting numb for no good reason. It lasted about two weeks and is now fine. Has been fine for months. It was probably a minor infection or something. -
saas13015yWhen a layman thinks he needs a website and googles it, he gets GoDaddy, wix, website.com, etc.
Go see a doctor. -
@shoop I'm not sure if reduced touch sense in a body part is related to blood flow. I think that you might think that because if you put pressure in certain places then after some time you will feel numbness in parts that are "below" this pressure point, but that is actually because you put pressure on nerves and they can't transfer information properly.
I'm pretty sure you would feel pain from your dying fingers before numbness would come. -
Thanks guys now I'm sure my hand will eventually fall off. Seriously though I'm going to see a doctor, I'm pretty sure it's a trapped nerve or something like that (hopefully not space CANCERAIDS).
Workplace is also going to get me a wrist rest and evaluate my desk ergonomics and shit so that should solve it.
I guess this is what you get when you work at a desk for 10 years -
@kfalencik My wrists used to bother me. I started taking a multivitamin with B complex in it. This made it go away. I read something a while back that B6 or B12 is needed for the sheath that goes around the nerves. So lacking enough it can wear out or something.
