Numbness On Left Hand

[powerlifterjay]

I had a injury last Sept and around dec my left arm, and hand would fall dead asleep to wear when i awoke it hurt like hell. And this is messin with my sleep. I have to wake up 4 times a night to shake it awake. But after my wife rubs my hand in the morning to get it awake my middle finger stays numb all day every day. Any one know what this could be?

If it's that persistent, it seems like there's something blocking your circulation. You should get it checked out man.

Gotta agree with gymtime,definetly a circulation problem.
get it checked out Bro.

sorry to hear about your problem..
Sounds like carpal tunnel syndrome to me...
I have it in both hands but its my pinkys that go numb,i wake at least 3 times a night having to shake my hands to get them to wake up,funny enough my problems started when i started sitting in front of a computer,i think its got alot to do with the way you sit in front of your computer,bad posture and leaning on your elbows for too long putting to much presure on the nerves that run through either your neck,elbows,wrists.
i suggest you go to your doctor as soon as posable about it,
because if your finger is numb all the time like one of mine was,
it means the nerve is becoming damaged and it won't be long
before your hand and arm start to become weak.
thankfully i got to the root of my problem as soon as i did or my grip would still be weak,but my pinkys still go numb at night
so mabey i need to try emprove the way i sleep,abit hard when you share a single bed with the girlfriend


hope you get it sorted soon....

Do you feel it when you workout?

My girlfriend is experiencing similar problems (although less severe). It really flares up when she squats. Most people when they hold the bar put their wrist at a cockeyed angle and you don´t notice until its too late.

Just a thought...

Dam i never thought it was computer related. It doesnt flare up when lifting though. I take a lot of voixe, and ice alot. I well get it checked might start at the chiro first. Its at night that bothers the most.
