pins and needles

[Craftypig]

Every mornig for the past week I have woken up with pins and needles in both my thumbs and the first two fingers in each hand. What could this be a sign of, anyone know?

Bilateral Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Google it and get back to us with any queries.

Both my hands are dead every morning - it comes from my arthritic neck problem so I am told.

[Sqad]

Lofty......Craftypig isn't suffering from "dead hands".......;-)

[LoftyLottie]

I know!! I knew that would get a comment from you.

Hi Sqad. Good morning dear.


Crafty pig, Squad is probably right (unfortunately);o) !!

[Sqad]

Lofty....marry me.

[LoftyLottie]

No

(sorry Crafty)

you haven't just been lying on your arms while asleep?

[woofgang]

My Mum got pins and needly hands from neck arthritis....

[LoftyLottie]

Difficult to lie on both hands jno.

Actually Woof, If my hands aren't dead then I often get pins and needles in both hands from the neck problem.

It's very difficult if Mr LL brings me a cup of tea in bed (which is rare!!)

[Craftypig]

Nah, I never sleep on my hands, usually my back, I will check out Squads suggestion.

I often wake up with dead arms - which is a bu99er if the postman is wanting something signed for....

I've done it before now, Lottie! But it doesn't sound like Craftypig does, so scrub that.

Possible trapped nerve.

I get it sometimes but assume it's my sleep position/arthritis. I always lie on my back initially and find it so comfy but don't seem to be able to get to sleep unless I lie on my side so assume my arms/hands get squashed at some point during the night in addition to being immobile. I had a phase of waking up with fingers bent which would take ages to straighten so goodness knows what I was doing in the night (that sounds rude, it's really not meant to!!!)!

Still working on training the cats to bring me a cuppa in bed...not holding out hope on that one though!
