Limbs falling asleep.

Since surgery my arms fall asleep almost nightly while I'm asleep. I'm going to check with my surg, but just thought I'd throw it out into VST world.

I have the same problem. Its mostly my behind & legs from sitting/ laying for long periods.

allons-y

Are you taking your Vitamins? How about B12? B12 deficiency can cause the problems you describe.

I've had this problem for a while (hands sometimes falling asleep at night) and I'm pre op. I asked my GP recently and she said that it sounded like carpal tunnel syndrome. She also said that many of my issues would clear up after I lost weight. I have to say though, I haven't noticed this happening since being on my pre op diet & I also have been on Vitamins for the past couple of weeks. Wonder if it does in fact have to do with Vitamin levels?

I take all the Vitamins regularly. I have a one month check up next week, suppose they will do blood work.

Thank you for the thoughts too. I'll update once I talk to my surgeon.

Good luck with this!

I had a major issue with this my first week after surgery- I thought there was something massively wrong. My friend who is a nurse said it's a common side effect of anesthesia and it would go away. I think the last time it was at about two weeks post-op. I think also for the first few weeks I was so exhausted that I would fall asleep in weird positions and then not move for like 8 hours, so I may have been causing it myself.

Good luck- I hope this resolves itself soon!
