I can be sitting, playing on the computer, or wake up with pain in my hands because they r numb. I have pins and neddes feelings as well. It hurts to even shake them. What is causing it?
Hi! Numbness in hands is usually caused by irritation or compression of a branch of a nerve traveling to the arms, hands or fingers. Pressure upon the arm nerves or vessels causing numbness, tingling or temporary paralysis of the arm may result from: sleeping with the hand under the head, sitting with the arm hanging over the back of a chair, wearing straps or carrying a bag or rucksack, inflated cuff during measuring blood pressure.
