Question 2

i wake up and my finger tips and toes are numb. what causes this?

Accepted Answer

Numbness on waking: When you are sleeping, there is reduced movements. Sometimes, one may lie in a position that compresses some nerves for hours, or compresses blood vessels that supply these nerves. These nerves then do not function properly, and there can be a sensation of numbness or tingling, even pain. With movement after you wake up, the pressure is released, and function rapidly returns to normal.

See a spinal doctor!: One of my attending physicians had this when i was a resident.  There was a benign tumor pressing on his spinal cord.  It was removed and he's been fine ever since!  by the way, this was 28 years ago.

Question 8

some times while sitting, my lower leg and foot gets numb.is it because of excessive nocturnal emissions?also my hands get numb when i wake up

Accepted Answer

They only cause...: Wet dreams, also called nocturnal emissions, only cause underwear stains... and nothing else. Therefore, no symptoms, disorders, or diseases may be blamed on nocturnal emissions. Numbness here and there, in young healthy individuals, after sleeping or sitting for a while, may be caused by not moving enough (which can cause pressure on a nerve for a while). There are also other causes of numbness.

Question 9

i was asleep and randomly around one in the morning i wake up and my whole entire right foot is completely numb and i cant move it at all. ?

Accepted Answer

Local nerve pressure: Should fully resolve.
Sleeping, medicated or other deep rest can allow a position with pressure on a  nerve and  can lead to a transient neuropathy

Question 10

my foot fell asleep and wont "wake up". i've been moving it for quite a while and it's still numb. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

See a neurologist: If the numbness last for more than a day or two, i would recommend seeing a neurologist.  You may have a nerve compression injury.  They can test the speed of the nerves to see if there is pathology or not.  Hope the feeling is back by the time you read this!
