Parathesias: At night we can have ulnar compression that results in hands getting numb. May be related to cervical spine disease ,or thoracic outlet syndrome Would also check for carpal tunnel syndrome, especially if you work a lot with computers. Splints at night , motrin ( if not allergic ) may help. rarely could be MS(usually not both sides). f/u/ w/ doc
