My left arm, below elbow and top side, goes numb when i am sitting. after i stand up and wait basically as long as i had been sitting, my arm feels normal again. i usually wake up with either a stiff neck or my arm is asleep but returns to normal quicker than it takes to return to normal after sitting. i try sitting all different ways, rest my arm all different ways but nothing works. i have never had any injuries, i am a 28 year old female.
Hi, thanks for giving me an opportunity to assist you. You need to try strengthening your triceps and trapezius muscle. Try doing static neck strengthening exercises as well.it could be a nerve entrapment in your cervical region. By doing regular strengthening exercises you will get rid of these issues. I have seen several patients with same complaint, and they almost get better by performing regular exercise. If you are a heavy computer worker, kindly take breaks in between your work. As both gets fatigue by static position. Hope I answered your question. I wish you a speedy recovery and a smiling face again. God bless you. Thank you
