Question

Answer 1

Are you right hand dominant?   Do you elongate or stretch your spine every night before bed and in the morning when you wake up ?  It never hurts to get neurological symptoms checked by a doctor.  If it is something serious and you wait too long you could end up seeing a rheumatologist for cortisone injections once a month.  It's always best to seek out symptoms like this when they initially begin.  In the meantine, try some stretching of the spine.  Maybe go see a chiropractor.  I know most doctors don't like them, but they really can help.

Answer 2

See your family doctor.

Answer 3

It's probably a pinched nerve, but you should see a doctor just cover all bases (and to be safe).
