pins and needles - pinched nerve?
Before I give details or get told to go to the docter, I have made a doctors appointment for later today already, but I am curious to know if anyone has experienced the same thing. I did a really long 10k pool swim last week sat, double my longest previous distance. I had no real pain after the swim and my shoulders were pretty good. Even until today, a week later, there is no pain, just general stiffness.
BUT, since the swim, if I tilt my neck forward then I get pins and needles around my neck area and down my arms to my hands. Only lasts a couple of seconds and there is no pain at all. Just the strange feeling. I can’t recall hurting myself in the last week either so I am thinking it may have been the swimming. I’ve been told by a biokinetist that it’s probably a pinched nerve some were. My shoulder muscles are very stiff at the moment and could do with a massage. But has anyone ever had the same feeling or experienced the same thing perhaps

Also, remember we only swim 1-2 hrs per day where overhead activities affect the thoracic outlet. Meaning other parts of your life are likely a culprit too. Sleeping with arms under pillow, poor posture, lots of typing under non ideal positions, etc. good luck.
Just wondering how you've gone about dealing with it and whether you've had a satisfactory resolution?
