Title: Pain and loss of feeling in both Hands ???????
Post by: bailey on August 06, 2006, 04:06:06 PM

This started a week ago and has continued every night. When I'm standing everything Is fine, but If I lie down or try to sleep at night my hands are In pain and I loose feeling as If blood flow is restricted there. This Is only in my hands, not In my arms !!! I do not have a computer job or a job In a realted field, and I have been lifting for a good 15 years now. My training is the only thing I think could be causing this. Anyone ever hear of such a thing ? I have been waiting to see If this will go away and It has not.

Thanks bro. Was the pain pretty bad for you though ? It F-n hurts me.
It goes away Immediately If I put my arms down at my sides. However I can't do that when I'm lying down trying to sleep.

same thing he said mine was probably from preacher curls i am not sure of the nerve name(funny bone nerve)but they were pinched in a severe case they might remove the nerves and put them on the other side of your elbows but as far as pain i gave myself my first tattoo so to say i don't register pain to well is a understatement

Seriously bro, you need to stop training and go get checked by a doc.  Loosing feeling in both hands in very serious.
