Why Did My Arm Fall Numb After Getting Up In The Morning?
This morning when I awoke, my right arm was completely paralyzed. There was no tingling like when your arm falls asleep, it was completely paralyzed, I couldn't move a single finger. I picked up my arm & started shaking it with my other hand and within a few minutes it came back to life. I could not even feel the touch of my other hand picking it up

Hello,
It is common and mostly due to nerve compression. It can happen due to pressure on nerves and it is called as neuropraxia. I would suggest you to start taking Pregabalin m tablet one at night time and get your serum B12 estimation. if there is low B12 then you need to take 10 injection Intramuscular for ten days. Also you need to take green leafy vegetables and pulses in diet.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
