Hello all,

Often enough and it's annoying, these are some things that make it worse, change of temp with water(doing dishes), hands/arms elevated,in the morning, and at night when trying to get some sleep, trying to get eggs out of the carton with out putting my finger thur one, when using my BB, driving, grasping or reaching out to pick something up, reading, etc... Thanks Bunz

pinkie and ring fingers - both hands - i would say 24/7 but don't know about when i'm asleep.

My fingers don't get numb, but a spot on my wrist did.

My fingers would lose coordination and at the worst times just would not function for small, detailed, or fine use.
like tying shoes, picking up small objects , writing

weird! you have neuro tos right?


i can coordinate for moments but it is exhausting. i am aware of every movement of my fingers, dialing numbers typing etc

For me:

# Occurs only in 4th and 5th digits (ulnar nerve)
# Most frequently whilst sleeping, and the numbness wakes me up (at least some of the time)
# At worst, this occurred 6 times per night
# Wearing a soft brace made from a fleece and duct tape has prevented this
# Have also experienced at the same time as a temperature change from cold to warm room
