Woken At Night With Arm Pain, Numbness And Tingling Posted: 03-17-06 02:36am
For about 1 year I am woken up once or
twice every night by pain in my right arm.
The arm is numb, tingles (worst in the
hand) and is cold. After 2-5 mins shaking
and letting it hang down it clears. In
the day same symptoms if using a strong
grip, like the handlebars on a bike.
Symptoms never occur in my other arm, and
the positioning of the left arm seems to
make no difference (eg: if hanging down
when asleep symptoms still occur). Seems
to be getting slowly worse. Help!!

C5/6 Disc Compression Posted: 05-13-06 14:37pm
I have been diagnosed with right formical
disc protrusion in c5/6 which has
completely compromised the right c6
foramen and has compressed the nerve
root..
I have had a nerve block which has
relieved my arm pain.
But I have been on 150mg zydol,2.5mg
vallium and 50mg anti inflamatries twice a
day for 8 months now..
Constant head aches and neck pain has
returned since gp has cut my med down..(so
I can use machinery at work)..
I hope your situation isnt like mine..
I have been told by my physio to push my
chin back while standing tall, this
recreates the arm pain so I dont do it.

Hey martin,
I read your problem and
felt the need to reply, I do not know
whether my answer is accurate for your
situation, but its just a thought. Your
probably putting too much preasure on that
particular arm both in the day and during
the night. Maybe at night your leaning on
it? You said if you hang your arm off the
bed it goes, try keeping your arm out of
the bed all night if you can! Also you
may have something wrong with the nerves
in your arm, trapped nerve maybe?
Sometimes things like this can also be
brought on by stress!! Anyway I would
advise you to see a doctor as I am only a
teenager, so I can only give some ideas on
what it maybe, the information I have
given may not be even relavant with your
case, however I did try!
Luff yall bekki xx
