Should I Take Aspirin For Soreness And Numbness In Hands And Arms?
Hi
I am woken every night with numbness in my hands and arm, it can be in both hands and both arms.
It only goes away if I elevate my heart above my arms and the circulation and feeling comes back immediately. This morning my right hand was sore for awhile after I got up which is not usually what happens.
My friend said maybe I should take aspirin and see if it helps 75mgrams.
It wakes me probably 4-5 times a night. It sucks.
Regards
Eddie Jones

Hi and thanks for the query,
Soreness could be due to an inflammation and aspirin is justified. Numbness could arise due to problems with the veins. Aspirin is not a good drug for numbness especially if you have any past history of bleeding disorders or a history of peptic ulcer disease is important. Ir is not rare to experience gatsrointestinal bleeding from Aspirin in take. the opinion of your doctor is needed. kind regards
