sudden numbness in arm i experienced a sudden numbness in my left arm this morning just after i completed my th set of deep squats today was my weight training day and i was just beginning my routine all of a sudden at the end of the th set my arm felt like it had gone to sleep it was cold turned pale and lost of its strength the weight i used for squats wasn t that heavy i was working hard but not at effort i waited for a few minutes trying to shake the arm back to life and then continued with chest exercises flyes with lighter dumbells than i normally use but i dropped the left dumbell during the first set and experienced continued arm weakness into the second so i quit training and decided not to do my usual hour on the ski machine either i ll take it easy for the rest of the day my arm is still somewhat numb and significantly weaker than normal my hand still tingles a bit down to the thumb color has returned to normal and it is no longer cold horrid thoughts of chunks of plaque blocking a major artery course through my brain i m vegetarian and pretty fit from my daily exercise regimen so that can t be it could a pinched nerve from the bar cause these symptoms i hope has this happened to anyone else nothing like this has ever happened to me before does it come with age thanks tom tom molnar unix systems group university of toronto computing communications
