Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could Cause Regular Early Morning Numbness / Immobility Of Left Arm?
Hi, can you please tell me the reason why I have a completely dead left arm in the morning when I wake up... Sometimes it is that bad I have to pick it up with my right hand and move it as I have no feeling whatsoever in it. This only ever happens with my left arm. Thank you..
The symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve in the shoulder. I suggest using anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg. I also suggest to maintain the area immobilized to prevent further damage of the nerve. I recommend to see a neurologist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
