Problem with hand
16 Answers
I have noticed that I get pins and needles in my right hand when I am not using it for a length of time (eg when I am a passenger in a car) and most mornings I wake up with a dead hand (what I would refer to as my hand being asleep), but I don't get pins and needles as it 'wakes' up. I don't sleep on that side so I am not lying on my hand and it is a bit inconvenient as that is the hand that I use to put the alarm clock on to snooze. Is this something to be concerned about? Thank you for any replies.

Just over a year ago I had numbness in my pinkie in my right hand and a feeling of weakness,it turned out I had compression in the right cubital tunnel,pressure on the nerve was causing the numbness and if not treated would cause weakness of the hand.I had a decompression operation on my elbow which was merely stopping it becoming worse and not necessarily stopping the numbness,which has turned out to be true.So I would act now and get it medically checked out as it may be something to nip in the bud!
