I woke up in the morning to a dead arm. I felt the arm was floppy. I literally couldn't lift my arm from my shoulder joint. It fell at the side of my body. I thought it had got paralyzed. But after some time as I tried to lift it with my other hand it regained sensation. But still feels a bit weak and numb. Do I have to worry about it? This was in the morning. Now I have numbness of posterior forearm n wrist n arm too. Can I know what's wrong with me?

Dear lybrate-user it si possible you may have slept in a position such that the nerves supplying your arm and forearm were under pressure. It is not clear whether you are now feeling better or worse than morning. If you are better than morning, nothing to worry. It will go away. Make sure you perform some gentle exercises for that arm. You can also try giving a warm compress if you are worse than you were in morning, you can take a mild anti-inflammatory drug and wait and watch a day. Please write back with your status as if you do not get beeter in a day or two, some other treatment may be required.
