A member asked:

My left arm is feeling numb. like pubs and needles. i'm guessing i fell asleep on it. but it won't go away. i'm worried, and can't sleep :( why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most likely: At your age, stroke is very unlikely, so falling asleep on it is very likely. Since nerves are kind of fussy, it can take a while for nerve symptoms to resolve. It may take hours to a day. If it doesn't improve, or you develop weakness, spreading numbness, or difficulty speaking, go to the ER. Hope this helps!
