Waking up with NUMB ARMS!

I remember reading a thread about it before and alot of us were trying to figure out why the hell it happens to some of us.

I was at the M.D. office today and asked my primary care doc...

I'll try to put it together as best I remember it:

When sleeping on one's belly and having one or both arms rotated in a way that the arm is either streched out or up near one's head... there is an "artery" (some sort of blood pumping mechanism) that is just below our clavial/collar bone and it's flow is impeded when you sleep in such a manner.... ect.

So he goes "if you lost about 5 pound of muscle from your chest it might not happen" LOL!!! My chest is probably 1/4 the size of most of you beasts! (193lbs at the docs today 6 foot)

So we're shit outa luck unless u sleep on your back... then you should be greatful.

I asked him if it would then impeed muscle recover due to the lack of blood/oxygen being supplied to the extremity... he said "no" ... lol, which doesn't make sense to me... but sure, I'm going to try to roll up a towel and sleep with that transversing me in a way that will ... i dunno, fuckin' shit.... going to try to figure out something so I don't wake up with play-doh arms, shits annoying.

Not an AAS post... but this topic has been brought up here a few times, I hope to provide some kind of answer to people wondering..

Especially sense some people thought it was the certain type of AAS they were using that caused it (no I'm not "On" ... haven't gone that route yet).
 
I have it bad too...I sleep on my side with one of those long body pillows propping me up. And now I sleep like a baby, where as before I would wake up and have to use one arm to lift and move the dead one around.

While I'm all natural :qt: on occasion while sleeping on my belly I have woken up and rolled over and been hit by something warm in the face ... that warm thing being my hand ... I had utterly NO feeling from the shoulder down, it was as though the arm had been novocaine'd and it is NOT pleasant. I have degenerative discs in my cervical vertebra and no curve to my neck so that's what I always attributed it to, interesting to know I'm not alone and it's not just my physical deterioration :rolleyes:

Rolling over requires using the one hand to maintain the stability of the "dead" arm so you don't do a damage to yourself ...

If I never have that happen to me again it'll be just fine with me.

Now here's a thought ... it used to happen pretty regularly until I got BACK into weights ... hmmm.

Why are conventional doctors first answers to most things, "stop lifting weights?"
 
AMEN to that sister. The fat sloppy old docs are always the first ones to tell a bro (or sis) to drop the iron. I'm not even going to tell you what my fatty alchy doc said when I told her I was on AAS. "Do you smoke or drink excessively?" I may be a juicer but for me, one beer and one smoke a year is excessive.
