You spend such a significant time with weight on your arms and many people tend to use their right hand to grab their water bottle. So, you probably have a tendency to lock your elbows when riding or you aren't moving your hands around and the pressure on your arm/shoulder/wrist is causing the numbness in your arm/hand.
simple. loss of blood flow into any area of your body has the same effect. the best way to take care of your hands on the bicycle is to change your hand position regularly. I can ride all day without gloves and have no problem at all.
Because u sleep on it, Einstein.
If your arm is tingling and feeling numb it may be asleep just shake it until it feels better ! WARNING : This is only a suggestion this may not be the case !
The blood carries oxygen and nutriens throughout your body. In your case you had to hold your arm in wierd position and the blood couldn't flow into your arm what made your arm turn red/purple and go numb.
I was wondering the same thing! My left arm hurts and tingles only when I take my once dailt addipex. Is it in my head??
A numb or shooting pain in the left arm is sometimes a symptom of a heart attack in progress, but is not the cause.
It may mean you have had a stroke. You should definitely call a doctor.
A numb left arm can be a sign of a heart attack. It could also be a pulled muscle. Only a doctor can diagnose the problem. If a heart attack is suspected, call 911 immediately.
These are possible symptoms of very serious conditions including a stroke. See a doctor immediately.
I am suffering from the same problem but also I feel pain in my bones...it is like my left arm is asleep all the time. I went to the doctor and got an MRI yesterday...it looks like one of my vertebras in my neck is pinching some nerves and the doctor will now give me an injection (epidural). I hope it works.
If you swung your arm yesterday and it has been numb for two days, you should see a doctor. You may have a pinched nerve.
Cutting off bloodflow or pressure on the nerve in your arm can cause it to "fall asleep" or go numb, as you've described.
If you burnt yourself on your wristand your arm is numb you should probably go see a medical specialist.
