Really helpful. Thanks. What about some tips on curing these ? If the neck test is positive what do you do? If different parts of the hand test identities it what do you do ?

[@HarryGoulding]

That song is a total banger. Thanks guys!

[@tubing66]

Super helpful! thank you!

[@sunflowers28]

Thanks, Guys! Are there any exercises to do? My thumb and first few fingers have this numbness going on. I suspected my shoulder as the cause. The new office has a weird slanted chair that I slide right off of. I end up pushing myself back every few minutes. Now my shoulder is doing a weird popping thing. Since I have been doing binaural beats for my hand, a few pins and needles, which seems an improvement from the partial numbness. Too much typing finally got me, I guess...😄 Thanks in advance for any advice. 😍 God bless y'all🙏

[@kalinadesseaux8011]

[@jojopoeticstyle1224]

Thanks for this. I think it’s Reynaud syndrome for me. I moved to a warmer climate but it still seems to occur not often just if I’m in a position too long and my body doesn’t agree with it.

[@williamestep5473]

I reduced caffeine intake and went low meats, low fats, no fruit or sugar and eat 90% vegetables did it for 8 months and Reynuad went away. Good luck.

Do u get tingling n numbness in all fingertips or only few fingers?

[@landscapingspecialist]

What if it just causes pain? I’m past the burning and numbness I’ve ignored since my late 20’s. I’m now 42. And now it’s just pain. All the time both arm both hands. Sometimes it’s numb, sometimes it’s not. It’s always painful now tho. And I use my hands arms and shoulders constantly to make a living.

[@aminakishk6571]

Use a little pillow for instead of hands…

When I was a teenager,I woke up one night and felt someone’s hand on my bed. Then I realized it was my own hand. LOL

Dude...no joke. Same shit happened to me when I was around 17. I thought someone was touching me in my sleep. I woke up and started beating whatever it was....turned out it was my own arm. Haha so stupid

[@hi-kt8jj]

I've had this issue since last year. I was doing a delivery job which involved folding and putting a heavy cart in and out of the truck. That's when it started. I just got a different delivery job this month and I noticed the same issue started again. Pretty sure I damaged a nerve. The issue is now persistent where my right hand is numb 24/7

[@theasshole7383]

I just feels pins and needles since friday randomly on my left arm not sure because of recent aniexty or the way I was leaning on my right side. But I'm always using my left arm even though I'm a righty. Got used to it and I ended up slouching alot when I was admitted to the E.R.
