Q: numb arms, purple fingernails
asked by: be_copper429 on March 24th, 2009

I am a 23 year old female and i have noticed that many times (mostly while sleeping) my arms will become numb or have the pin and needle feeling from elbow down to my fingertips. to get rid of this, i will have to open and close my hand a few times. at the same time, i have a burning sensation in my thigh, almost as if it is in my muscle. i also noticed today, while looking on my fingernails, that they are bluish/purple from the middle of the nail to the bottom of the nail. on top of the bluish/purple color, they're very white (the white that appears if you press your fingernail) , except my fingernail is not being pressed in anyways. does anyone have any idea what this may be?

if no one has any answers for you, i would ask a doctor. Sleeping on your arm can easily result in it becoming numb. Many times i will wake up and actually have to move my "dead" arm with the other. But the purple finger nails is not normal and could be a result of poor blood circulation in general.

Have you found a reason for the purple nails? I am going through the same thing and I am scared.
