<human>: My left arm, below elbow and top side, goes numb when i am sitting. after i stand up and wait basically as long as i had been sitting, my arm feels normal again. i usually wake up with either a stiff neck or my arm is asleep but returns to normal quicker than it takes to return to normal after sitting. i try sitting all different ways, rest my arm all different ways but nothing works. i have never had any injuries, i am a 28 year old female.
<bot>: Hi, thanks for giving me an opportunity to assist you. You need to try strengthening your triceps and trapezius muscle. Try doing static neck strengthening exercises as well.it could be a nerve entrapment in your cervical region. By doing regular strengthening exercises you will get rid of these issues. I have seen several patients with same complaint, and they almost get better by performing regular exercise. If you are a heavy computer worker, kindly take breaks in between your work. As both gets fatigue by static position. Hope I answered your question. I wish you a speedy recovery and a smiling face again. God bless you. Thank you
