you that the peripheral neuropathy in the call, which could not be enoughvitamins, you should get tested for B12, potassium, protein, monoclonal, endocrine and electrolyte disorders, among others.

What causes tingling hands at night?

Q: I wake up at night with pins and needles in one or two of my hands. I tried chiropractic, physiotherapy, and a special pillow, without success. What causes this and what can I do to stop it?

A: The most likely cause of your symptoms is compression of one or two of the major nerves that supply feeling and function of your hands. " These nerves - the median and ulnar nerves - run from the spinal cord in the neck all the way down in his hands. They pass through the vertebrae of the neck, the armpit to the elbow bone and between bones and ligaments of the wrist. If they come under pressure at any point along the way, the arm or hand may feel as if she has "fallen asleep".



This is most likely to occur if you sit or lie with your hands in position for an extended period. This does not usually occur during the day, but it is common in the night. typical pressure points during sleep are the neck, elbows and wrists. Your head may be in a position such that the bones of the vertebrae or discs, or muscles of your neck, press on the median and ulnar nerves. Lying on your back with your elbows at your sides may create pressure on them at the elbow joints. And sleeping with both wrists bent forward can put pressure on the nerves at the wrists.

certain conditions - for example, rheumatoid arthritis and hypothyroidism - can contribute to the symptoms you describe. So is heavy work or repetitive with your hands. Your symptoms may also be an early sign of carpal tunnel syndrome, caused by pressure on the median nerve at the wrist.

If you can relieve tingling by shaking or rubbing your hands for a few minutes is a good sign: It means you do not have permanent nerve damage. Nevertheless, it would be a night of uninterrupted sleep. Since your symptoms persist after physical therapy and after repositioning your head with the pillow, it is unlikely that the nerves in the neck are compressed.

If you have not already done so, ask your doctor to examine your wrists and elbows. She or he may recommend wrist splints.
