Ever lost feeling in your fingers?

Kjiverx · Jun 8, 2007

well, this is an off topic forum. so please don't get mad at me.
basically, have you ever been playing a game and lost feeling in your fingers? like they become numb and are hard to use? I have.

Kimbo · Jun 8, 2007

Yes, i get that when im sleepy or its a very chilly day.

GST_Nemisis · Jun 8, 2007

this one time at football (soccer) i bashed my hand and it went all numb and i couldnt feel them at all, i was biting my finger and i couldnt feel a thing, i was like "WTFWTFWTFWTFWTF" coz i thought i had dome something bad. they were ok after a cool beer and a bath.

I (very) often get cold in my fingers when I play some game but I don't loose the feel.

Kjiverx · Jun 8, 2007

GST_Nemesis-not quite ther sort of game i was thinking about

The_wand_mirror · Jun 8, 2007

Acctualy only when its rly rly cold, but i aint able to move them then

-JonNny · Jun 8, 2007

I have never lost feeling of my fingers , even it was cold
Also on a lan ( played through the whole night without sleep ) it never happened...

Once i woke up an night and maybe i had a bad sleeping position but i lost 100% of the feeling in my left arm.. that was kinda funny because i was not even able to move my arm a bit and it felt like dead or not mine :grin:

Hmm. In my psych class I lost complete feeling in all my fingers, although it would come back for just an instant if I moved them. It was during the relaxation thing. And it was damn relaxing. I knew for a fact that my thumbs were touching my index fingers, and absolutely nothing. Only some sensation in my thumbs.

I once bruised the nerve of my funny bone. Hit it so hard my arm and hand would loose feeling then gain it back. Then I felt prickly points all over my arm. Then I felt hot and then cold back and forth. Then I just had a dull ache. Took about a week for it to go away. Closest I have had to loosing feeling in my fingers. I too on occasion get really cold fingers when playing games. Even during the summer. I think it has more to do with circulation than anything else.

One time after being to an eightteen years party.... I tryid making some wierd map in wc3.... Could feel my fingers or anything...
And the map... I tryid it the day after, it was a grunt with a trigger so you lost control of it everytime you moved it.
But that wasnt because playing a game, that only happens in clickclick.com hehe (actualy more in Garry's mod)

Just yesterday I lost the feeling in one of my fingers. My middle finger on my left hand actually. It came as a result of me and a friend of mine having a race to see who could climb a fence the fastest lol. It was very annoying.

GST_Nemisis · Jun 8, 2007

when i have been doing alot of work on the computers (like 2 or 3 days fo solid typing) my fingers start to twitch. i dunno if this is related.

Kjiverx · Jun 8, 2007

hmm, it seems i'm not alone. although i've never lost complete control of my fingers. they were just relly imprecise and numb, so i had trouble hitting a specific key. as if they were encased in something like playdough or mud but stiff and heavy.

brad.dude03 · Jun 8, 2007

Mine was just numb. You know the feeling you get when your foot or something falls asleep? Basically, for about 40 minutes I had pins and needles in my finger that wouldn't go away. Annoying as hell.

GST_Nemisis · Jun 8, 2007

hey if your foot needs a bit of shut eye theres not much to be done about it

does anyone else think the term "foot fell asleep" sounds funny

Kuhneghetz · Jun 9, 2007

I've once lost the feeling of half of my arm when I woke up. Luckily, the feelings came back after a few minutes.

Kwaliti · Jun 9, 2007

I remember once when I played volleyball, some guy almost knocked my thumb outta it's position, I couldn't feel it for hours, and even now, at certain contitions, I can't feel it at some point :sad:

But those certain conditions are like stomping on my finger.

Teh_Ephy · Jun 9, 2007

I don't get how "<body part> falling asleep" came to mean having pins and needles. I can still move it, it's just pins-and-needles-y.

brad.dude03 · Jun 10, 2007

It fell asleep as in it's not responding, it's numb. That's where it came from.

Just yesterday night though, I got the most infuriating thing ever. There are two:

1) Foot cramps. The muscles in my foot feel like someone grabbed them, squeezed them very hard, and then started ripping them around. Not a pleasant experience. It happens randomly too.

2) I lose all feeling in my foot. This happens when iu'll be stretching my toes, and one toe will cross over the other. This causes me to lose all the feeling in my foot, panic like hell, and then reach down as fast as I possibly can to uncross them. It's annoying and frightening at the same time. It's like you can feel your foot, and then it just disappears, like you have to check to make sure it's still there >.>

Kimbo · Jun 10, 2007

Well, this may be unrelated and sound like iv smoked something, but if you balance enough psychological belief and stimulus(?) you can bring those feeling back(mind fooling), although..they arnt really there. Hell you could have a tail, its god dam awesome.

mrchewy · Jun 10, 2007

Not really, but occasionally (especially after writing a lot) the tips of my fingers feel a little numb. It's probably Carpal Tunnel or something but if it doesn't kill me I don't prticularily care.

Uhh... huh. I presume you've experienced this yourself?

Daminon · Jun 10, 2007

A bit similar to phatom pain. Some people have been able to controll such body functions with their mind. One dude were able to open the blood vessels in his hand even though hís body considered the hand to be sacrificed to reduce heat in his body.

that which does not kill me pisses me off

Teh_Ephy · Jun 12, 2007

That which does not kill us can at worst take a few limbs. Which would definitely constitute a loss in sensation.

Jaakko · Jun 12, 2007

Sometimes when I sleep and wake with my hand under my head it's totally numb.

GST_Nemisis · Jun 12, 2007

arg i hate when that happens.

Kjiverx · Jun 12, 2007

if it happened i'd hate it

brad.dude03 · Jun 12, 2007

I always sleep with one arm stretched right out, but thankfully its always under my pillow, so no problems there

RED BARON · Jun 12, 2007

The worst:
One day I returned from gym very very sleepy, I turned on my pc, walked pass my bed, and felt asleep on spot. Woke up 5 hours later, my entire body was asleep and I was lying half on the bed, half on the floor. Then when I fanily was able to move kind of normal I walked downstairs and asked my farther why he didnt wake me, and he said because you looked so well asleep! Damn irritating.

Jaakko · Jun 12, 2007

Sometimes I felt like I had woken but still couldn't move my body. And sometimes I felt like I couldn't breath anymore and was suffocating. One time I felt like I was in some table lying and some doctors were pushing some hospital string pipes in my nose and it felt really horrible. Once long time ago in primary school we had celebrations and I was there sitting in the assembly hall. It might have taken several hours. I propably had kept my legs very tight and when I moved them I realised my groin was numb... It felt a bit bad and embarrassing. lol
