Q: Numbness In Hands

asked by: tomtjs on December 27th, 2005

My hands (usually) right lately have been numb after sleeping. Occassionally my feet after sitting or sleeping a bit sitting up.
What does the doctor generally tell you?
I am afraid of surgery (it might be ok if I was awake) & I am also afraid of the blood test.
I do have a problem w/ being nervous but have just lived w/ it w/out any medicine or anything.
I am 40.
I think my right arm looks swollen (i did 20 years ago) but others (family) say it looks fine.
I know everyone will say see a doctor but I dont have 1 & am very scared.
What have they told you others here to do (w/ similar symptons)?
Pills, surgery?
I know I sound like a baby but I cant help it. I hate it. Please reply.
Thanks. Tom

Any luck getting to the root of the nervy problem? I know what you mean, it bothers me too. But finding out the cause seems almost impossible. I hate it too. I've been waking up numb for well over a year. Very strange feeling.

waking with hand numbness

I had a massage on my shoulders/arms and seemed he primarily worked in the arm pits and my numbness was gone for a week!

Severe Numbing of the Hands when I wake up.

Since I have been really young, I have been waking up to numb hands off and on. Sometimes it is just tingly and others they are so numb that I cannot move or feel them... they are cold and almost seem dead. This bothers me. Is there a possible point to where I could lose the use for good?.. Usually with this issue, if I position them to get the circulation back, I regain full use of them. But they seem to be getting worse and more frequent.
