There is a feeling like getting an electric shock every time I role something over the area between the intermediate phalanges and the distal phalanges. I can feel a nerve or vessel in that area but when I roll my finger over it, I get a nervy feeling in the distal phalanges of my left thumb.
This is kind of hindering me from playing my guitar and violin as I have to constantly release and re-apply pressure on my left thumb when playing different notes. Any advise as to what to do or what my problem really is would be helpful. Thanks

 Hi Spazticorange,
It sounds like you may have some compression of the nerve that supplies the thumb. This may be due to an overuse injury.
I would recommend you see your doctor to have this evaluated. Treatment may range from an anti-inflammatory to try to reduce any inflammation that is compressing the nerve, to surgical release of the nerve.
Best wishes.
