What do you suggest if i'm waking up with limbs numb - is this bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs evaluation: This merits a careful evaluation by ones doctor or by a neurologist. Among the most common causes of numbness of limb(s) upon awakening are pressure upon a nerve, often as the nerve root exits the spine, or a transient effect of a more peripheral nerve compression. Underlying spinal stenosis is common. Other causes are less common.
