The post whore thread.

I keep being reminded that even though there may be tons of items listed for sale there is really not.
Trying to get a commuter car. Settled on something that is practical and cheap and go off looking for a great deal. (Cheap er because I found a hobby I want to do next year so car budget was slashed and the dream car will be scaled back to needs only). Yes I want a great deal who wouldn?t. Most of the dealer cars are used up junk. The private party cars are listed at kbb excellent pricing but are below good. (Paint needs touch up aka clear coat is gone, or the overpowering smell of bleach and vomit in a full priced car).
Well. Back to searching for a fun commuter.

You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning, and you've been sleeping on your side......and you realize that your ear is folded back on itself?

Son of a bitch.

Takes a while before it starts feeling normal again too.

No. But I?ve slept on my arm and it took half the morning before I could get all of the feeling back in it.

Isn't that called a heart attack?

That's called "every morning". I shift from one side to the other. This arm gets numb, then the other. They just take turns.

Same here. I often wondered if I had some sort of problem.

I can't sleep with my arms above my head or they go numb. Or reading with my arms tucked in close.

next time, don't fall asleep with your head between someone else legs. Problem solved.

Okay guys, my friends, you should talk to your doctor about your symptoms. Any neuropathy has a cause that might be corrected by altered movements and/or physical therapy. But if you ignore or dismiss the condition until it advances it could result in permanent disability.

I've experienced gradual muscle weakness in one hand and passed it off as a part of ageing. But I found that my problem is caused by ulnar nerve entrapment, i.e., cubital tunnel syndrome, second most common to carpal tunnel syndrome. They are repetitive motion injures incurred by people who work with their hands. Anyone like martial artists, boxers, pistol shooters, carpenters, pianists, or computer operators of any flavor. I didn't recognize the problem until too late and will need to have ulnar transposition surgery pretty soon. It sucks. Hope to regain full dexterity.

Be proactive. Survivors take the steps necessary to survive. Your loved ones depend on you.

Good point Hummer. I have an annual physical coming up soon and I'll bring it up. The "falling asleep" arms have been happening as long as I can remember though. Just figured it was normal.

Just turned 50 yo, so I guess the ole rectal exam is iminant. Awesome.[facepalm]
