My left trap' has felt [b]really tight[/b] for a couple of weeks and is making my arm and hand feel weird. Any tips for relief? Any ideas if it can impinge on a nerve and affect my arm and hand?

It needs triggering DS - you need to get someone to find the "knot", then get stuck in - elbows are good. I get them pretty badly in the same place, my good lady is a physio so I get "relieved" by her (ooeer). It's not pleasant, but the relief afterwards is very welcome.
w2000 - is it normal to affect the arm / hand?
I'm just getting a bit concerned...left arm feeling weird, the odd finger spasm.

I should have said "Sounds like....."
I daresay if you've got a tight muscle in your neck, then you might just be holding yourself differently which could cause an odd feeling elsewhere. I am in no way qualified to tell you this BTW, I just get the info from my better half 🙂
Docs would be better 🙂
Mine were caused by being too laid back whilst driving many years ago - I now sit bolt upright to keep neck more upright - apparently the msucles tense up to protect the nerve if you slouch too much. I had some ultrasound done on mine and within 3 sessions it was a lot better.
Tell me a bit more about it. Could be a lot of things.
