If I sneeze, I herniate a disk in my back. It's always fun to discover what new strange and different symptoms I'll get each time. :shakehead
This one is relatively minor, but starting to drive me nuts.
At night in bed while I sleep, my thumb, index finger and middle finger goes numb. Kind of like asleep, but not asleep (you back people know what I mean). To get the feeling in my fingers back, I need to get up and walk around for a bit. It's neat, I get like 30 mins sleep, get up and walk around, then another 45 mins sleep, then get up again - all night long. In the day I'm starting to feel like a zombie from lack of sleep.
Here's my question: I am concerned that if I just sleep through the numbness and let it remain all night long, I could cause some kind of permanent damage, or cause the numbness to remain even after I get up. Is this possible? I think I can learn to just sleep through it and not get up when it goes numb, but is this wise?
Thoughts?
