Shoulders, Arms and Hands Falling Asleep At Night

yes- I have been thinking it was just me- more and more often I find this happening. I don't think I am sleeping differently but sure don't remember this happening with such frequancy before all this cancer stuff..althoiugh can't pin point this to cancer treatments either.

Have your back checked out just to be sure.  You can have a disc that has moved and will pinch nerves when you lay down.  Everyone in my family complains of this??? We all have upper back issues.  From setting at a desk/computer too many hours while being tense.  Hands and Feet only can be left over neuropathy.  Trying getting a massage on these area it really does help.

I started to have the numbness and tingling in my leg and foot about 18 months after finishing chemo.  Onc says it is unusual and I am now wondering if it is the Femara causing it.  She put me on gabapentin and it helped a little.

Yes, you can get neuropathy after stopping chemo.  But it usually with in a few months of completing chemo. You can have neuropathy for other reasons. Diabetes for example.  But I also have meet other with neuropathy with no real explanation of why???  I have also learned  they no really very little about this.  Do try deep tissue massage and micro-current.  This does help a lot.

My hands fall asleep when I drive, talk on the phone,sleep, etc.... 

Sometimes at night I wake up with numb yet painful arms. If I don't move my fingers often, they get very stiff and sore. My thumb joints on my right hand feel as if my thumb is out of place if I move it the wrong way.

My onc. thought it might be the Arimidex and suggested I try tamoxifin. (which I refuse to take).

I saw my MD and he thought I had arthritis. But x-rays and blood work showed no arthritis. I only had two lymph nodes removed from that side, but wonder if I could have nerve damage.
