Numb Hands!!!!!

Ok I know I have seen this topic here a few years ago -
I wake up in the middle of the night and my hands are numb- it is getting worse, more often, and they take longer and longer to get the circulation going again - I am trying to get into the local clinic to get some blood work done as I remember that it could be from low b12.

Anyone with info or experience please help- It's getting scary!

 You may be sleeping a much deeper sleep where you don't turn often enough. If you are sleeping on your hands, they would get less blood and thus may be numb on wakeup. I had a similar experience when I first started using a Cpap machine for sleep apnea.

I experienced the same thing about 15 years ago... turned out it was carpal tunnel.  Are you keyboarding a lot, or performing any other kind of repetitive detailed hand work?  You might need some physical therapy - some people actually have to have surgery to correct the problem if it's gone on too long, but I was able to avoid that.

Best to get a thorough check up if you haven't had one in the past year.

Happy Memorial Day!

sounds like carpal tunnel to me, too.  i had the surgery about 8 years ago.  helped tremendously.  good luck.

Have your B-12 checked- this is how I found out I was severly deficient.  Very serious stuff if it is low.  Good Luck :)
