Why do I get pins and needles in my hand at night?

Question

When I fall asleep at night and lying on my left side, I often ( most nights ) wake up with my left hand asleep. This is agony for a few mins, after shaking it about for a few mins it slowly goes back to normal. This started a few months ago and seems to be becoming more regular and more severe. What could be causing this? I do a lot of computer mouse work ( right handed) I do also somtimes get a bit of a sore neck on the left side.

Answer 1

Its probobly because your sleeping on your left hand but you dont notice.

Answer 2

I have the same problem as you do. And it's my left hand. I wake up many times with pins and needles and also numbness in my hand. I've even had my hand feel this way for most of the day. I know Diabetes can cause one similar symptoms but I think we're probably falling asleep on our hand. Or getting in some wrong position while sleeping creating these feelings. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless it gets very bad or happens every-night.

Answer 3

Sounds like a circulation problem. If this has been going on for a few months then it is chronic. You need to get this checked out. It's probably not going to go away on its own if it hasn't by now.

Answer 4

What type of work do you do?
I bet you use your hands, arms
in action alot.
See your Dr.
