A member asked:

My mom's arms become numb at night almost every night. what can i do to help her?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Consider possible: Carpal tunnel syndrome, which may well be easy to control if she wears a wrist support at night. May also improve with vitamin b-6, pyridoxine 100 mg twice daily, but do not exceed this dose due to toxicity risk. If of no use, get to your doctor, as EMG test may be necessary.
