Tingeling in hands while sleeping
I've been experiencing tingeling in my hands to where it always wakes me up every night now for over 6 months now. I now wear wrist braces during the night and for awhile that helped. Now the tingeling is worse than I can bare, my hands fall completely asleep and sting at night w/ the braces on. I'm loosing it with no sleep at night, nothing I do seems to help. Why is this happening and what can I do about it. I know I sleep "funny" meaning I tuck my hands under my pillow, so must be crimping them or something... Please help.

Hi pk2324
Welcome to the forum. Tingling in the hands could be carpel tunnel syndrone or it could be several others things doing with nerves. You really should be seen to make a diagnosis. Also wearing of splints normally helps carpel tunnel. But the splints do have to fit right and have the right angle. I would say be seen to know just what you have and the proper treatment there of.
Best of Luck. Your welcome to use the link at bottom to search as well.

Symptoms such as yours can indeed be caused by carpal tunnel syndrome, and if splints and other treatment has failed, surgery is definitely an option, if the condition is properly diagnosed. A physical examination and usually an ENMG is needed for diagnosis. If carpal tunnel syndrome is diagnosed, surgery can be a very effective treatment.

I have been diagnosed with Bilateral CTS without the use of an ENMG test. I have been given splints for both hands/wrists but to only wear them at night. I am not on any medications andhave not had any injections or surgery for this injury. I have been treating myself with conservative hand/wrist exercises..3x's a day. I have had only (1) visit to the doctor and this is when I was diagnosed with it. The doctor did not ask me any questions as to my past history but yet he was able to put in his report that my injury was not work related. I dont understand how he could do that. How is causation figured when it comes to CTS?
