tingle in my tongue...any ideas? It was really strange...I was driving to work and all of the sudden a searing pain shot from my right temple to my elbow and to my hand.

You may have had a Trans Ischemic Attack ... basically a 'tiny stroke' ... and you should go to the doctor for a THOROUGH EXAM and tell him about this incident ... it may SAVE YOUR LIFE.

i had a sharp pain in my back and then my foot fell asleep today. people have weird aches and pains all the time. i think unless it is something accompanied by ongoing symptoms you shouldn't worry about it.
