“Yikes, my hand is asleep!” That funny yet irritating feeling that we’ve all had in our hands or feet one time or another is caused by sitting in one position for too long. This sensation is usually produced by the compression of small nerves and sometimes blood vessels and should go away with movement and a little bit of time.
Other times, that numb, tingling feeling can be caused by other types of nerve compression or swelling (like in your lower spine or in the pelvis itself, for example). Make an appointment to see your healthcare provider so he/she can pinpoint exactly what is causing your numbness and develop a treatment plan for you!
