It sounds like a lack of circulation. I'm sure you've massaged them. Try heat and something to thin your blood.

Of course, nothing beats giving ol' doc a call! =) I bet micro is hard with this condition D=<

Definately sounds like bad circulation. A bit of exercise will help out. Go for a run or a swim.

Take a look at your computing positioning as well. Might need to re-arrange it to put a bit less strain on your arms/wrists.

Dude if it's that bad go to ER and get it checked out, just in case you did something really horribly bad to it, like its lupus or something.

If it's not as bad as you make it seem then it's more likely its either bad circulation or carpal tunnel.

The arms are innervated by a series of nerves from the cervical then brachial plexus that extends out into them... which can be seen on this chart:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/Gray812and814.PNG/450px-Gray812and814.PNG

The fact that's it both arms would most likely indicate that it's something up at the cervical spine level because otherwise it's very unlikely that you would have the same (well, I assume it's the same) symptoms in both arms at the same time. More than likely, something pressing/impinging on the spinal cord or some of the root ganglions up there.

However, it could definitely be something else. Certain types of viruses infect and destroy nerves... seems like the radial nerve in your case. This generally tends to happen when you're extremely stressed out and your immune function drops.. but could also indicate possible auto-immune dysfunction.

There's really too little information to tell so I don't want to scare you or give you hope or anything. The good part about if it is somatic/peripheral nervous system is that these nerves do grow back. If it's something up at cervical spine impinging that can be generally taken care of through good physical therapy.


For what you can do right now... massage, exercise, rest. Blood flow tends to help healing process as most people said.

I'm no doctor, most likely few of us are, but this kinda sounds like... I forget the english word, like blood poisoning? When it's like there's an infection in your veins. Of course, you'd probably be dead by now if that was the case.

keep contracting/extending the muscles in the numb areas, this will improve circulation.

if this doesn't help soon i'd go see a doctor asap as something might be wrong with your spinal cord.

what amazes me most is that people actually RATED my post

it's not circulation. i've had circulatory problems before. its my nervous system doing something fucking retarded (which it has done before).

last time this happened, the doctor told me to take 1800-2400mg of advil DAILY. apparently, w/ over the counter medicine, the pain relief works in small doses, but you need a hell of alot for the anti-inflammatory effect to kick in.

this is plagued me for far too long (to the point where i basically had to limit my starcraft playing time to virtually nothing for few month long periods). i'm going to pursue some serious treatment

is half of your hand (pinky and ring finger) also numb? if so it could be cubital tunnel syndrome. if you tend to exert a lot of pressure on your elbows (eg. you use a solid surface such as your arm rests to lean your elbows on while at the computer) for a prolonged period of time parts of your arms will go numb. i had this for a while. i stopped resting on my elbows so much and tried to keep my elbows as straight as possible and the numbness and tingling went away after 3-4 days.

Looks like you got some neuritis. You can take up to 1200 mg per day of Ibuprofen for two-three days.

Or if you like cortical steroid pills with hydrocortisone, check the doses as I don't know them...

Numbness is usually caused by hyperventilation. If you feel numbness you soetimes hyperventile without noticing.
Try to keep calm and understand that it is probably nothing dangerous.

I once felt the same thing and I was really scared and I didn't calm down enough so it was very frightening. However nothing dangerous and after I visited the doctor I was calmed down and later it just disappeared.

(I only read your first post)

sarcasm from a romanian ... ok I'm going back to watching the osl.

Day I don't know a single thing about your situation, but everytime I've had odd numbness in my arms, or calfs, I've had my stepdad align my back and not moved for an hour, and it always seems better. I have no clue if you know anybody who you can trust to do that for you though.

I recommend you pm mr.doctor from bulgaria and see if you can give him a more accurate description .... and he can make more educated guess.

ps I loled at your poor rating lol.

Its probably because your body is craving another audio-rant.

On a more serious note, try to stretch your arm, and if possible get one of those "powerballs" which trains your wrist. It helped for me.
