Why Having Numbness In Hand And How To Revive Senses?
Hello. I just woke up without feeling my right hand. it took me a while before I could move even fingers. I still have light pain in the palm which was more pronounced earlier.I put in under hot water after slowly recovering movement and feeling.I am concerned about going back to sleep. Anything I can do?

Hello,
It looks like you have carpal tunnel syndrome which is compression of median nerve in the wrist area and give signs of numbness, tingling, and weakness in the fingers especially, during the night.
I would suggest you take some Ibuprofen and a wrist splint to rest the hand and not overuse it. If your symptoms still persist then you can try cortisone shots in the wrist and if that fail then surgery is the next step.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Edvin Selamni
