If I sneeze, I herniate a disk. It's
always fun to discover what new strange
and different symptoms I'll get each time.
This one is relatively minor, but starting
to drive me nuts.
At night in bed while I sleep, my thumb,
index finger and middle finger goes numb.
Kind of like asleep, but not asleep (you
back people know what I mean). To get the
feeling back, I need to get up and walk
around for a bit. It's neat, I get like
30 mins sleep, get up and walk around,
then another 45 mins sleep, then get up
again - all night long. In the day I'm
starting to feel like a zombie from lack
of sleep.
Here's my question: I am concerned that
if I just sleep through the numbness and
let it remain all night long, I could
cause some kind of damage, or cause it to
remain even after I get up. Is this
possible? I think I can learn to just
sleep through it and not get up when it
goes numb, but is this wise?
Thoughts?
