What Causes Numbness And Fatigue In Arm?
My Fiance had some tingling and numbness in his right arm a couple of months ago it finally went away after he had taken Robaxin for a few weeks. He changed jobs to where he works nights now and now he sleeps so much during the days even on the weekends when he is off. Do these 2 things have anything to do with one another numbness of the arm and fatigue even if it isnt happening at the same time? I am really worried, the sleeping could just be because of his work schedule and the arm because he has a slipped and torn disc in his back. Please help!

Hello,
May be there is a tingling and numbness in the arms may be due to cervical spondylosis with radiculopathy or may be due to neck muscle spasm. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Reduce the height of the pillow, physiotherapy is useful. Use tablet pregaba m 75 mg once a day before sleeping may useful. If symptoms not improved please consult with your neurophysician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
