When I wake up in the morning my right hand is always numb & tends to go completely numb as I try to get dressed & do my makeup & hair. Most of the time I have to wait till it wakes up to do anythimg as I drop what I m holding constantly. Then during the day while I m physically working it goes numb..it is going numb right this second. What causes this?
