numb

a couple of years ago my hands were going numb then i moved to a different work ares and it stopped.now i get it all the time no matter what job i do or even when im off shift for 5 days.it started in my right hand now i have the numbness in both it wakes me up and i also get it in my hands when on the mobile it goes numb so i switch hands. i am right handed but my left arm aches more through the day i also wake up with swollen fingers...there are other things which could be related to this but not sure sometimes i get weak wrists and i cant say when this happens it just happens every so often a pain radiates around my wrist area and is quite painfull then it could disapear for a few monthsi also stand on my feet for 12 hour shifts and my lower back and bottom and top of legs have a weird sensation that i cant explain and i also have half a numb big toe on my right foot my ncs came back normal

Hi...please see ur Dr for evaluation...I am not sure what u do at work, but u may have a condition called carpel tunnel.....u will need an EMG test to see if that is the dx and if not ur dr may do MRI's of ur neck area.

Good luck
