Hello, Normally we feel numbness on our hands and fingers whenever we sleep lying on them,but once we change our position,the numbness goes away. In many cases,it doesn't go away. The way you get up from sleep and experience pain along with numbness,it requires further investigation,as it could mean some ongoing medical problem. These symptoms are called as peripheral neuropathy. In 30% cases,the symptoms are due to diabetes. In 30% cases,the cause is unknown. In rest of the cases,the cause could be cervical osteoarthritis,carpal tunnel syndrome,cubit us tunnel syndrome,hypothyroidism,deficiency of VIT B12 and VIT D,iron calcium,spinal or brain problems and rarely due to conditions like HIV,syphilis,amyloidosis etc. You need to be seen by a neurologist and subjected to detailed investigations because treatment would depend upon the diagnosis and there is a long list of causes for such symptoms. I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query. Best of luck Thanks
