I get this - pain in the left shoulder and "pins and needles" and tingling down to the mid forearm - several times a day. Sometimes the pain aches so much it's hard to deal with. I'm a PC user at work, and use it for several hours a day (about 6 or 7). I have a feeling that the pain and other symptoms are to do with poor posture at the workstation as I tend to lean on my left elbow. If others out there who are regular PC users have similar problems it may be because of this. I have altered my posture at the PC and the symptons are less recurrent - but no less severe. A VDU assessment by your company's assessor may highlight the problem, so why not give it a go? Sufferer in silence, UK

This may be the onset of a mild heart attack. Heart trouble often starts with a numbness on the left side of the body, followed by dizziness or light-headedness. I would go see a doctor IMMEDIATELY if this is happening.

If it is severe enough to impair your movement or vision, I would dial 911 immediately and ask for help.

The most common reason for that is "cubital tunnel syndrome", where the ulnar nerve is compressed at the elbow. The treatment is to stop leaning on the elbow. Some people find it necessary to change to a chair that does not have arm rests.

If you have symptoms other than numbness in the ring and pinky fingers and that side of the hand and forearm, or if it does not get better, you should see your doctor.
