Hello. I've always had a problem with my right hand going a little numb and staying that say until I wake up totally. But last night was an ENTIRELY different experience. I was woken up to a searing pain and numbness in my right hand. Nothing I did helped. Then when I got up this morning my hand was so swollen and I could not make a fist. I could feel it all the way up the medial did of my arm to the nerve we call the funny bone. Even now after being up for a while my hand is still numb and painful. Can anyone shed some light on this?
