A member asked:
When i wake up in the morning my whole arm would be numb. is it my nerves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably compression: Of a nerve while you were asleep caused your symptoms. Imagine sitting with your legs crossed for a long time and having your foot or leg fall asleep. This happens occasionally in people who are sleeping and lay on one part of their hand or arm.
