Wednesday afternoon (06/23/2010) around 3PM I got a sharp pain in back of my upper neck on the left side, less than in inch from center. It was very painful for about 2 or 3 minutes before becoming more subdued. After about 10 minutes the pain had all but disappeared, replaced with a tightness that became pain if I looked to my extreme right.

Around 9PM of the same day, while playing cards at a friend's house, my index finger on my right hand went partially numb. Most notably it was numb from just under the fingernail to about mid finger on the half closest to my thumb. The numbness slowly spread until the entire top of the finger was numb as well as half of the lower finger closest to the thumb. This lasted for about 5 to 10 minutes and was completely gone after about 30 minutes (though I imaged my hand feeling somewhat odd for the rest of the night). My upper arm seemed to ache ever so slightly as well. I did not notice any chest pain or irregular heartbeat (not that I know that I would).

I have a section of my left leg, in the outside portion of the thigh just a little lower than where my hand might hang, that goes numb frequently. It has been suggested that this is a result of my weight (low circulation) or a pinched nerve. I don't know if these items are related, but thought I would add them for completeness.
