I am waken off/on during the night with my thumb,index finger and middle finger numb. Sometimes the numbness is more extreme than others and when this happens I usually have excrutiating pain in that arms, arm pit. It seems my issues are on the side that I have woke up on. As if laying on that particular side has a barring on the problem. Help!
