Arms Numb - Sleep Disorders Message Board

Both my arms go numb all night long, It wakes me up with the pain, once I start moving them and shaking them the pain will go away until I fall asleep again. Now my arms ache even during the day. I try keeping them dowm by my side but that doesn't even help.

I would think maybe its the position you sleep in. Sometimes I wake up and my legs are so numb that the pain is unbearable and it last during the day. I tried different ways of sleeping and different positions and that worked. You may be putting your arms in really uncomfortable positions at night that cut off the circulation.

At least that would be my first guess.

Thanks, I'll try anything at this point.

It actually sounds like you have some pinched nerves going on ...maybe Carpel Tunnel Syndrome...read about it. This is not normal and should never happen. Seek medical attention for what can be done. good luck.

Good luck, Helen

Thanks, I have a couple bad discs, I never thought about them. The bad discs are in my neck and lower back.
