I am having extreme headaches, arm pain, numbness and tingling in my hands and fingers. I also wake up with complete hand numbness multiple times in the night. So bad that if I am on my stomach I can not even use my hands to roll myself over. My husband has to roll me over onto my back. It is miserable. I get finger numbness from typing...and driving and lifting. Basically my life sucks. I also have fibromyalgia and so I am miserable.

Tummy sleeping is about the sleeping posture I think, places extra pressures on the low back..

Also are your hands/arms above or over your head when you tummy sleep?
Many of us had to teach ourselves not to sleep in those bad positions.
