A new symptom and especially numbness should be mentioned to your physician but it sounds like carpal tunnel perhaps. A neurological visit would be helpful for diagnosis.
Hi MOOG144,
I experienced the same symptoms nearly 2 years ago and thought I'd just badly banged my elbow (which I did) and this was just a side effect, was sent straight to the neurologist who done some tests and everything came back fine except they found I had a vitamin B12 deficiency. All symptoms went away and after I started feeling unwell about a year ago I found myself back at the hospital where I was told my lupus had relapsed and once my consultant looked at the notes from the hospital and i explained the symptoms again he said I had Antiphosphlipid Syndrome(APS), which was unusual as you normally either get bothered with lupus and APS separately but in my case I had both active at the same time. Hope this helps a little.
