The pins and needles sure do sound like you cut off your circulation in your hand because of the way you're sleeping. I have done this act in the past as well. Do you ever get these feelings during the day while awake or is it only upon waking that you get these feelings. If it only happens after your sleep, I would suspect you're cutting off your circulation while sleeping. If you have poorly controlled Diabetes you can get similar symptoms. Or if you have nerve damage. Medications from your doctor will help these last 2 conditions.
Could it be bad circulation? Have you spoken to your doc?
it can be caused by sleeping on your stomach...sleep on back or side only.
you could have carpal tunnel syndrome
it could be a problem with your neck
see a physical therapist or chiropractor to find out
I had tendonitis in my wrist a few years ago, the dr. asked me if my hands went numb when I slept - said that could be a sign of Carpal Tunnel.
Lately I've been having the same problem as you, but i'm sure it's because of how I've been sleeping - I kind of cross my arms & rest my head on them. I think the top arm cuts off the circulation to the bottom. I agree - it really hurts!!!
Could be Carpal Tunnel Syndrone.
stop sleeping on your hands, when you sleep on your hands you cut off the circulation to your fingers and when the blood returns to your digits the pin and needles is part of the blood returning to your fingers, so stop sleeping on your arms and your hands and you will be all right.
Take care and good luck.
....cya....
I had this same thing. Seriously!
I would wake up and my left hand was numb like it was asleep. If I would shake it long enough the feeling would eventually come back but it was getting worse everyday. It started in two smallest fingers but over time it was my entire hand and I was worried. Doctors only wanted to prescribe pain pills but that didn't do much good.
Eventually I met a chiropractor at the gym and he explained to me that it was because of my posture and because I carried my wallet in my rear pocket. (I'm serious)
Anyway, the long and short is this.
I'm not a doctor but it was some nerve being blocked in my shoulder and the chiropractor worked on my shoulder, fixed the problem and eventually it went away.
OK. I've never really believed in or knew anything about chiropractors but I had this same problem you have described and this guy fixed it.
It took about 2 months at 1 or 2 30 minute sessions a week.
Hope this helps.
it's possibly because of poor circulation.
you should talk to your doctor and have him check your extremeties out!
I get pins and needles all the time (and I know it's because I don't eat enough), so I can sympathize with you!
good luck.
well i know it is something to do with your wrist, coz the lady at my work had the same problem and she had a operation so go see a doctor
try puting pillows down one side to stop you rolling or try keeping your hands out on top of the bed i can't think any thing hope this helps and how did you go with the other day at the hositpal
It could be ankolising sponilitis, I'd get it checked out. Good luck.
Diabetics can have the same trouble
