i woke up this morning and my whole forearm all the way down to my finger tips feel "dead" numb i cannot move my wrist up but i can move it down and the same thing down to my finger tips i can make a slight fist but not tight and my arm wants to move to the side when i do that and if i lay my hand and fingers on a table i wont have the strength to lift up my wrist or lift or even straiten out my fingers the skin feels like its just asleep but i had this same thing happen to me on my right hand 12-18 months ago same feeling and everything and finally after 2-3 months i got the movement back . first i thought it was maybe how i sleep the first time it happened but for how long it took to get well i know that was not the case i did go to one of those quick clinic and he said it was just carpal tunnel i didn't think he was rite then and definetly not now because how i just woke up with it like that . if you can help or have any suggestions it would be much appreciated thank you eric hall email YYYY@YYYY
