Pressure Palsy: response to: Numbness in hands at night

[Guest guest]

Here is a good description of pressure palsy from:

http://www.hnpp.org/symptoms.htm

It sure hits the nail on the head for when mine acts up. I have been doing an

EXCESSIVE amount of demolition around our home outside to aggravate many seldom

used nerves and muscles. I am going to bet my lunch on this being the culprit.

--------

Examples of activities that cause symptoms of numbness, tingling and weakness

are:

crossing legs at the knee

leaning on elbows

sitting with legs crossed, tailor style

kneeling

gardening

carrying anything by the handle (purse, suitcase, grocery bag,)

using scissors

knitting

working with hand power tools

holding the telephone in one position too long

tying shoes too tight or tight shoe straps

painting too long (holding brush or roller)

walking too long (more than an hour)- advanced HNPP

lifting weights

using a mouse at the computer

typing
