Suggest Remedy For Needles & Pins In Hand

I get pins and needles in my hand every night whilst sleeping. It is very painful and seems to reach to each elbow. I have recently found that sleeping on my back alleviates the problem somewhat, but I can't sleep comfortably in this position. I am 55 years old.

Hello,

If you are continuously having such pin and needle sensations then it can be due to-

-Compression of nerves in neck due to either disc issues or due to cervical spondylosis
-Diabetes
-High blood pressure
-Thyroid issues

I shall advise you to consult to your doctor and have a x ray of your neck region to rule out spondylosis or any other issues.

Till then you can take a mild analgesic like ibuprofen for relief in pain.You should also start taking some supplements like neurobion for at least one to two time a day.Wearing a soft cervical collor and neck exercises may help you.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari
