A member asked:

My right arm, wrist and finger fall asleep at random times, usually 2 or 3 times a day accompanied by finger and elbow pain. what could be the issue?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neurologist: Most likely there is a nerve entrapment which could be in the elbow, wrist or possibly the neck area. An orthopedic surgeon or a neurologist would be best qualified to examine you but an EMG( elelectromyogram) May be needed to pinpoint the area of nerve entrapment and xrays and/or MRI May also be ordered.
