About an hour ago I was lying on the couch on my back when I noticed
the feeling of pins and needles in my left pinky. It's still there.
My husband and I spend half of our lives going to doctors and I don't
want to go running to mine if this isn't serious.

What could cause this? I have no pain in my elbow or shoulder. I use
the mouse with my right hand. The only other thing that I do
repetitively is swim. I swim 20 laps every day.

Yes I had read about this but I got the impression that it was usually
accompanied by discomfort in the elbow. I have not bumped my elbow
and it doesn't hurt at all.

I've had pins & needles just from lying on the floor propped up on my
elbows. It doesn't have to come from impact.

Yes, but it usually goes away in a few minutes. This isn't.
