Bootsha 1,306 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Just a quick question, do any of you guys out there wake up to find your hands numb?, or if you been driving a while the wheel hand goes numb??. I always used to think if i'd been on the saw for a spell it was that vibration white finger malarkey, but i googled it and its suprising how common it is apparently, although i never heard of it before. One suggestion was Carpo tunnel syndrome, only tunnels i ever been through was down by Newport lol. Any thoughts or experiences from fellow members ??? Serious replies only please ??

bryson 562 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 my lass gets the same mate and docs said carpel tunnel syndrome some times she wakes up through the night with bad pins and needles then other mornings she has no feeling at all she gets it in her legs as well if shes been driving for a long period Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I get it when I've been riding my motorbike for prolonged periods without having to brake or change gear or whatever. I think it's the vibrations. Waking up with numb hands might be quite useful. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest thebigdog Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 aye i get it sometimes, sometimes wake up with both arms dead, always put it down to poor circulation while sleeping. another thing that happens with me is, when i sneeze the joints in my arms (fingers up to shoulder) ache. related maybe? bodies are weird inventions, thats for sure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm the same with the sneezing but only my shoulders .. my hands go numb and pins and needles to just thought it was because of using air tools at work Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Millet 4,497 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I have Raynard's which is rubbish this time of the year as my finger's keep going yellow and numb when the blood flow is restricted and the cold weather don't help..i also often wake up with one or two dead arm's but i put that down to the sleeping position at the time...once i've moved my arm's about the numbness quickly goes..i have had it for year's now and all i can realy say is try and keep your body warm when it is baltic out there and if they do go numb make windmill motion's with your arm's so the gravity get's the blood flowing again.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He'd look a right cnut windmilling whilst driving the 90 lol...sayin that though..no more of a cnut than he already looks i suppose ...plus im tipping the money belt is fastened a wee bit tight hence lack of circulation 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Always thought I have good circulation cause I never seem to get cramp but what I do is similar to you Boots. I wake up in the middle of the night and its like my hand is dead, or it feels like my fingers are sort of twisted over my hand. I never seem to wake up fully and sometimes think I'm dreaming?? Or is it some kind of night cramps due to the way I sleep??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bootsha 1,306 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 my fingers and most of my hands go completely numb, was started a couple of years ago, just my "fuckoff" fingers would go numb, but hands go as well now. i dont get cramp or f**k all, may have to get to the vets and have a look.

Bootsha 1,306 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 if i slapped my mrs a slap in the chops, numb hands would be the least of my worries 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
