Well, did a lot of cutting in the last 2 weeks, more than I ever have in such a period before.
I'm using a little 14" Homelite electric chainsaw because it was the lightest saw I could find capable of cutting the size trees I have, and I'm running one handed (missing right arm entirely.) Yes, even my wife calls it my "Barbie chainsaw."
Anyway, after all this cutting, my left arm is hurting. I can actually feel the nerve running from my shoulder all the way to my fingertips, and my thumb and first two fingers are going numb.
So, yeah, a visit to my MD is in order. But with that said, anyone else ever experienced anything like this? Any suggestions or solutions?
(I know, I know...
"Doc, it hurts when I do this."
"Then don't do that.")
