Default Arms fall asleep during the night

I don't know why but this has been happening a lot more lately. It's so painful it wakes me up during the night and I have to work to get the blood flowing again. Uuuugghhh...just one more thing to deal with

I have been dealing with cramping in my hand a lot lately. That is something new to me. I have never been woken up by my arm falling asleep though. Maybe it is something similiar???

Don't you just love these quirky things that happen?!? Sorry I can't give you any advice.

I know that some people with this problem, have CTS. My neuro said
if you can shake it off or get rid of it by repositioning it, its CTS

Hope that helps, it sure is painful.

What is CTS again?

This was my complaint so one of my 2 neuros did the EMG of my arms/neck and said I have mild carpal tunnel.

But when I told him my legs buzz daily with tingling/numbness in my foot and electrical pain shooting down my legs, he told me the MS neuro would have to see me again and tell him to do the EMG of my legs/feet. He was already doing the EMG of my arms but could not do my legs at the same time...hmmm...

Anyone else find its not carpal tunnel???

Does your whole arm fall asleep?
or just your hands?

Do you sleep with your hands/arms above your head, under your pillow or bent tightly?

any other symptoms/pains that might be related -fingers, hand, wrist, forearm, neck, shoulder?
