A member asked:

I have stiffness in my fingers and sometimes when i sleep and wake up my fingers are asleep. what supplement can i use to prevent this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Poss carpal tunnel.: Numbness in fingers in AM is suggestive of carpal tunnel syndrome where there is compression of the nerves at the wrist. Try wearing a wrist brace at night that keeps the hand extended. Also, there are exercises for carpal tunnel that stretch the nerve and tendons.
