Today should have been a gym day today. I could not go because I had an appointment with the Dental Hygienist. For about one month now I have been getting pins and needles in my right arm.  I have been sort of ignoring it because I hate going the doctors and it seems a silly thing to go to the doctors about, especially when it comes and goes. Whilst I was at the Dental Hygienist she got me to hold the the little vacuum thing that they put in your mouth. Whilst I was holding it, I once again started to get pins and needles in my arm. I knew that I could not ignore it for much longer.  I looked it up in a book that I have at home and it said it was either a stroke or multiple sclerosis. I decided that it might be best to just get seen by a doctor.  On my way to the doctors to make an appointment I thought I might nip into the chemist first and see whether they had any ideas what it could be. The chemist told me that it is caused by either a neck or shoulder injury. This made a lot of sense to me because I injured my shoulder not long ago. She said that there was not really much point going to see a doctor because they won't be able to do anything. I need either a Physiotherapist or a Chiropractic. I don't see the point in going to the gym because I don't do much exercise there which does not involve arm work. I would worry about making it worse than it already is.
