I would like to know the reason or reasons for my problem. I have been waking up many time during the nights for months now, due to my left hand falling asleep while sleeping. It is getting worse. My fingers on left hand go numb, turn a shade of white and appear to have light swelling. I also experience a sharp pain in wrist area, just as you do when your hand falls asleep. I have to get up and move fingers, squeeze my pillow just to get feeling back so I can go to sleep. It is only in my left hand and only occirs when I am sleeping. I am a 29 year old women. Please help me figure out a cause and maybe a way to prevent this. I have insurance but would like to avoid going to doctor for something so petty and my boyfriend would like it so I won't be cranky with him from lack of sleep!

Thank you!

You probably have a disc problem in your neck. Those nerves root there and travel down your arm. Get a MRI and see a Neuroloigts or even a Pain Management Dr. They can help you, you may need a Epidural Steroid Injection in which a steroid in placed in the epidural space to reduce the inflamation and swelling there. I have had a few it is no big deal and a much better alternative than surgery. Hope that helps.
