Ugh, last night was a rough one. I was constantly awoken because my arms and hands kept falling asleep and were impossible to "wake up". They also were extremely cold, even being under the blankets.
Does anyone else have this problem at night? How do you cope? |

Well my legs wake me for sure. Not exactly what you are describing but the pain gets high like someone hit my leg it wakes me and I can't get back to sleep cause it throbs. Are you laying odd? I know when I keep my limb still the pain increases so if I am up even small moving helps. For me a good texture is micro fleece and they even make sheets with that. Also meds to aid in sleep you may want to look into if you have not. I wish I had more answers for you. I would talk to your doctor about this too.

It sounds a bit like Thoracic outlet syndrome.... that often causes the hands/arms to fall asleep due to arm positions while sleeping.
what position are your arms in when they do this? over head, or somewhat above head level? folded under the pillow? the coldness could be from the lack of blood flow also.

Jo*mar,
My arms can be any in position - it happens when I'm on my back or my side. I could understand it more if it only happened in the one that I am "sleeping" on, but it affects both. They usually both "wake" me up from a sleep with their coldness and tingling. |

Has your neck/c spine been checked for any problems?
Any xray or MRI of the c spine? Did this just start happening all of a sudden or gradually?
