Arm numbness and joint pressure02/15/2008 |
I am a 19 year old female who is experiencing numbness in my right arm with pressure at the elbow joint. The numb sensation seems to come most often at night when I`m trying to sleep, and sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night because my arm is so numb. Sometimes it happens during the day. I try to shake out my arm as if it were asleep and it does no good. I`ve had this on and off for four years and I`m wondering if it`s something serious.
Thank you for visiting NetWellness. On this site, NetWellness experts try to answer general questions about health. Only a health professional performing a thorough clinical exam is able to evaluate your symptoms. Your concern is likely not related to any sort of sleep disorder. I would suggest that you seek the opinion of a neurologist or orthopedist. Feel free to write back if you still have questions or need an explanation.
