Hands and arms falling asleep

[jerol]

Bros, heres the deal.
Since I started my cycle, which I am on week 5 now. My hands and arms been falling asleep while i'm sleepling. I'll wake up in the middle of the night and have to wake up my hands and arms. This happens every night since like week 2 or 3. This has to be gear related? Should I be worried? Is it a problem with blood circulation. I'm running test & deca.

The Brachial plexus is the name for the bundle of nerves that carry all the sensory and motor fibers from your neck to your arms and hands. This plexus runs beneath your trapezius from the neck, under the clavicle, by the ribs and then into your arms. At week 5 on a bulking cycle I'd say it's most likely that you've gotten big enough in the traps to cause pressure on this plexus when you are asleep (and therefore not moving).

I assume that when you awaken, and move the arms a bit, it goes away? I've experienced this as well (and I don't even do gear -- yet...) when I lift heavy for a while and my shoulders get bigger. I don't think it will be a permanent problem as the body does adapt to size gains -- you've just gotten big faster than your body can adapt, that's all...

Good luck to you,

Jerol

I noticed the falling asleep feeling a bit also. Definitely more than usual while on. Not
the shooting pain in my arms you descibed.

Last summer I worked in a manufacturing plant and was lifting heavy objects all day. My arms would fall asleep at night and the pain would wake me up. I started losing feeling sensation in my thumbs and fingers, I was told I was developing carpal tunnel. Just another posibility. If it persists see a Dr.

I was told that the muscle becomes inflamed and pinches the nerve, like jerol said. I popped some ibuprofen to help with the inflimation b4 bed. I complained to the plant Dr. and was "released" of my duties 30 minutes later. So, I hope it is not work related.

Mine have done that for many many years and it happens when my arms are bent at the elbow tight i.e. I am laying on them. I was young and dumb and did a cycle at a very young age. Actually I would not even call it a cycle I just got two bottles of test and injected like I was told for 8 weeks. Anyway I injured my elbows at different times very sharp pain went up through my shoulder. I was done lifting for a few month each time. Anyway many years later (Last year) I had talked to my doctor he had said (Forgive my laymens terms) a nerve moved out of place. He said it was nothing to be concerned about but if it really bothers me they can operate on it and put it back in place. My arms get so numb you could stick aknife in them and you would not feel them. Bu tthe doctor said that will not cause any permanent damage. To me it is annoying as shit that it happens just about every night but not bad enough to have them cut me open. That is just what happened to me if yours is the same, which I hope for you, then do not worry about the numbeness part. but I would think you might want to get it checked out just to be safe. Make sure your doc knows you lift however much you do.

Anyway I hope this helps to ease a little tension
