Waking up with NUMB ARMS!

[*Bunny*]

I believe the missing component to be the pressure of one's body weight, downward facing, along with the pressure and possible constriction of blood flow from that "artery" under our collar bone that supplies our arms when above or perpendicular to our body.

Sleep also as you stated because of the pressure and angle during an extended period of time.

All due to "more than nessesary" muscle mass on our upper bodies, particularly in our upper chest and shoulder girdle (sp?!) , AAS or not (my case).

Very interesting that alot of people suffer from this, thankfully it's not life threatening and we'll all live after we experience the slight scare in the morning and flopping around of "dead" appendages for a few momments.

I agree with what you are saying, and it reminded me of something that happened to a friend due to said 'pressure' ... The "more than necessary muscle mass on our upper bodies" did not apply to his situation specifically, just way too much alcohol and passing out SO HARD, the body couldn't adjust itself in the middle of the night. He lost complete feeling in his arm for almost a year, and the doc told him it may NEVER return ... the feeling & movement did eventually, but completely? I'm not so sure.

My hands go numb if my arms are bent. laying on my back or sitting up. been happening for over a year now. explain that one for me, please.

That is so funny, I just seen the doc for the same prob. The tendits in your elbo are inflamed, so when you bend your arm when you sit at a tabal and prop your elbos on the tabal, it puts presher on them tendits in your iner elbo and makes your finggers go numb. He gave me some inflamitorys but it dont help he said I need theripy.....

I've suffered with this on and off for a couple of years. It only happens when I sleep in a t-shirt otherwise I'm fine.

I was dreaming I ate this shitty tasting chocolate pudding and I woke up with a spoon in my ass.

Then the next night I was dreaming about how I was eating the world's largest marshmallow and when I woke up my pillow was gone.

I told this girl I know's 5 yr old kid that joke and he laughed his ass off for like 20 minutes. Too bad he got suspended from school the next day for repeating it verabatim in front of his whole class. Oops. Sorry mom. My bad. I probably should've told him the G-rated marshmallow dream story instead? However, his class didn't seem to mind-which is probably 50% of the reason he got in trouble. Andrew Dice Clay had to start somewhere too.
