So, back in the early 1990's I sliced the side of my birdie finger with a serated bread knife while trimming some limbs of a tree. (don't need any comments from the peanut gallery :nono1: -- the lesson was learned) Immediately, I felt a jolt of electricity rush up my arm and into my entire body :eek: -- not pleasant. Anywho, I received a few stiches, but when I touched that finger to anything for the next month or so, I received that same electrical jolt :eek:. After the cut healed, I still occasionally could touch that finger just right, and the jolt would come again. :eek: Over the last few years, I have not been jolted, but on occasion, will get a smaller electrical soreness on that spot of my finger to the tip. Today, while doing my regular workout with weights, I noticed some of that not so pleasant feeling of electrical numbness from that cut to the tip of my finger. I continued my workout, but it seem to be more affected as I continued to lift. It has mellowed out a little bit, but I still have a little feeling of that electrical numbness on that tip of my finger. The cut was at the base of my distal phalanges (if my memory from 9th grade Biology serves me correctly). What do you suppose happend that made this problem reoccur? I don't recall bumping it against anything -- just began to notice it while rubbing my hands together on a set break.
