I dont think it has anything to do with the clomid or anything but there is a bruise that wont go away in the middle of my left bicep and my left pinkie down to my wrist is numb, and it has been this way for about a week. Any info will be appreciated.
 
nothing, thats the thing. I need to see a DR. but have no med insurance right now due to no job because of hurricane Katrina.
 
Numbness in the little finger and lateral half of the ring finger is usually due to injury of the ulna nerve. You may some compression of the cubital tunnel in you elbow.
 
The cubital tunnel is a sheath like area in which the the ulnar nerve passes through at the the olecranon process, also known as your "funny bone". If you work your bi's and or forearms alot, or do alot of repetative motion.... that area can get compressed and cause injury to the ulnar nerve. The same nerve can also be injured/pinched at the spine or in the wrist. You may try looking up cubital tunnel release or anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve. These are actually surgical proceedures but it may give you some better insight as well as explaining it better than I do.
 
Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I don't have hardly any feeling in my left forearm or pinky and ring fingers on my left hand. i was shot with a sawed off shotgun a few years back and never regained feeling. Too much nerve damage, but it doesn't effect streangth at all.
 
well its still the same and yes half of my ring finger is also numb, but i thought that was wierd so i didnt mention it. I appreciate all the responses i got! Im not as worried anymore but will get checked out once i get insurance. I wish i could do like usual and just order my own precription to fix this :) :)
