A member asked:
Was sleeping and sudden tingling on top of right hand. couldnt move it for a few seconds ( was not sleeping on the side)?

Nerve: This probably was an irritability of a superficial nerve as there was no obvious positional impingement of a nerve. It was fleeting and most likely not a serious issue in view of its short duration. If it recurs see your physician for advice.
