Numb wrists

Okay guys you are the experts, and I know that there are no dumb questions here on this board.  I am having trouble with numbness in my wrists.  This did not start till after my surgery.  Was just wondering if anybody else felt this.  I can not sit my wrist down without them going numb all the way to my fingers.  This is happening in both wrist.  I use to be able to sit at the computer for hours and it not bother them, now if I do not keep them moving they start feeling tingly and go numb.  Jim thinks it might be because fo the IV in both arms, not sure.  What do you all think?

I think its all those hours you spent at your computer!  Carpal tunnel... Well you could still have some affects of anesthesia.  Are your lips numb too? 

I get it in my pinkie and ring fingers.  It is not uncommon for us to get this.  It is called ulnar neuroapathy.  I asked the dr on wed about it and he said it was because of the change in arm positions as we loose weight.  Unfortunetly it is not a reason for plastics,  shucks!   Good luck. Beth

Melissa, DH and I both have it, but mine has gotten worse since surgery. We are like Beth said, more so in our fingers, than wrist. DH has allready had the Ulnar release surgery by his elbow and hasn't helped, so I don't want to have it done if it is not going to help. Have you talked to your Dr. about it? Cheryl

Beleive it or not, I've been feeling this lately.  I notice it when I wake up in the am...but I think it's the position I'm sleeping in since I have another person in my bed and I don't have the whole bed to myself.  I spend much of my time at the pc too at work, so there could be some carpel tunnel or a touch of arthritis. Who knows.  I need to consult my dr. and I would say that you should do the same.  Just ask the doctor.  I'll try to do the same. Following my own advice is always a problem for me! lol.

Cheryl, I keep seeing DH...what is that? Thanks.

Alyssa, the DH is board lingo for dear hubby.

LOL! Well that explains it.  I'm going to have to come up with some board lingo for my sweetie.

Alyssa, from the OH home page in the middle column click on Share on the next screen click on Message Board/Forum site for help, then from that list look for Message Board lingo I think it is the very last one, click on it and it will let you click for a list. There are some good ones on there and some that I had no clue about. Hope this helps. Cheryl

I have noticed this in my fingers and feet since surgery. I mentioned it to the dr and he really didn't have an answer. Now when it happens my toes and fingers turn white and really hurt.  I am going to mention it again. Marie
