Oh man! I'm so anxious right now! I woke up early this morning with a bad pain from my wrist where the hair tie was (I accidentally left it there from being overtired) My thumb and index finger on left hand was numb, I left it a couple hours but it never returned! I can move it and everything, it just feel's anaesthetised on the surface and mainly the inside of my thumb!
I had a small panic attack over this (I don't even have local anaesthetic at the dentist if I can help it, as I hate the sensation).
I did call the NHS hotline for advice as I didn't want to go to doctors if it was something silly, the lady ended up telling me to go to A&E to check it out as it was numb for over 2 hours.. went there and the medic told me I wouldn't need it amputated as I can move them, and it might take a couple days to return.
Well it's been almost 24 hours and I can't help but feel anxious that the sensation won't ever come back!
Note to self - Don't wear hair ties around your wrists whilst sleeping :/
