Hi there, im nina, 37 years old. I have been having this intermittent problem with my right hand and right shoulder. It gets numb when I try to raise my arms over my head or when I grip something. It started when I just gave birth to my son who is now 5 years old. It comes and goes. Especially at night. ......There is moderate pain that transits from my upper shoulder down to the hand, especially the middle and ring figner of my right hand.

Sounds like ulnar nerve problems.

Just in case . . . have you had any other symptoms like eye problems, loss of balance, fatigue that gets worse in the afternoon, muscle weakness or heaviness in your legs? That might be something more serious, like an autoimmune disorder.
