My ears and hand goes numb when I sleep. My ear s cartilage is really hard and actually hurts when I use certain pillows. My arm goes numb when I have it bent. When I search for reasons as to why they go numb, MS seems to come up all the time and I am really scared that is even a possibility. What s the probability its MS

Hello read through your query. I must say that nothing to be worried in this. Numbness is caused by less blood supply to that part. When hand is numb means its bent and so less blood supplies the hand. So i suggest you to properly design to sleep and be yourself fine. Hope u got the reply. Have a healthy day
