I slept on the couch for 2 weeks?!


Question: I slept on the couch for 2 weeks while some things were getting done in my bedroom. I woke up one morning and my little finger on the left hand and around the side of my hand and top of the hand feels like it is asleep. I have feeling in them, but it's like when you lay on your hand and it falls asleep, only thing is, even though it seems to be getting a little better, it is still numb feeling. It does not hurt, even though my wrist is sore. Some time back I fell and hurt my elbow, and I broke my wrist a couple of years ago on the same side. I have had a pinched nerve but that was on my right side 5 years ago. I would just like to know what I can do to get the feeling back in it. Is it just a waiting thing? Thanks, Grandma

You most likely have injured the nerve and it will just take time to resolve .... (you did state it was feeling better and thats a good sign!)

Good luck!

2 weeks? didn't you have to eat? drink? bathe?

Probably....Just get really drunk and it will all come back.

did you go to a hospital and also did they start an iv if you did?
it may be that someone knicked a nerve while doing an iv , very bad. if your worried about it and you DID have an IV recently i would suggest seeking medical and legal help asap.
