Arm is numb.

[NotCool]

Hello.

Don't ask why, but today I spent around 1 hour in a uncomfortable position: laying on a bed, my right ear pushed to the wall, and my neck and arm in a unnatural weird position.

After I stopped, I noticed my right arms functionality is all messed up: problems with movement, partial numbness and inability to completely control movement, pins and needles on certain parts (from thumb up to end of biceps), and inability to completely flex my biceps.

It's been now 1 hours since I stopped, and it's still the same. I think I messed up my arm/neck/back nerves, and that something is horribly wrong now.

If it's not better until tomorrow, I'll go to the doctor. In the meanwhile, any thoughts, opinions, similar experiences?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry but I have to know why? :)

Had the same pins and needles thing in both my legs. It was a popped nerve, one time just sleeping in an uncomfortable position messed a nerve up. If you seriously messed it up, you'd be showing other symptoms, or feel pain. You can actually test your circulation in that arm by pinching your fingertip, it'll go a lot whiter and it should go back to its color in 3 seconds. Even if this doesn't work, don't be alarmed. Laying in the position probably messed with nerves or circulation, but you should go to a doctor if this persists for a long period of time. You'll be alright, mate.

Thanks for all the answers. Situation is better now, but there must have been some minor damage, because in the mornings I still feel some pins/needles sensations on parts of my affected arm, also some weakness. Functionality returned, but I'm thinking a pinched nerve or something like that.

As for reason why I was in that uncomfortable position, I really don't wanna get into it. :)

It's been two weeks, but I still feel like I lost some sensitivity on some parts of my affected arm. Like lost/gained sensitivity, it feels really weird, it's like more sensitive on certain parts, and less on others.

What could this be?

Pinched nerve? Still want to know why you were doing that! :blink:

Ear to the wall?

Eves dropping or creeping isn't something I'd want to brag about either.
