The skin on my right forearm went slightly numb because it wasn't used to the 37 degree heat on holiday in Rome. It took forever to go back to normal.  

Answer 3

depending on your age it could be carpal tunnel syndrome, or you're having a stroke... probably carpal tunnel or a pinched nerve.

Answer 5

Carpal tunnel syndrome Suspected.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Symptoms include pain and paresthesias in the median nerve distribution. Diagnosis is suggested by symptoms and signs and is confirmed by nerve conduction velocity testing. Treatments include ergonomic improvements, analgesia, splinting, and sometimes corticosteroid injection or surgery.

Peripheral neuropathy is dysfunction of one or more peripheral nerves (the part of a spinal nerve distal to the root and plexus). It includes numerous syndromes characterized by varying degrees of sensory disturbances, pain, muscle weakness and atrophy, diminished deep tendon reflexes, and vasomotor symptoms, alone or in any combination. Initial classification is based on history and physical examination. Electromyography and nerve conduction velocity studies help localize the lesion and determine whether the pathophysiology is primarily axonal (often metabolic) or demyelinating (often autoimmune). Treatment is aimed mainly at the cause.

Consult a Neurologist.
