Rapidly Numbing
I’m a little concerned.
Whenever I go to sleep I always lie down on top of my arms, and it usually takes a few hours before they become numb. Now I can’t even lie down on top of them because they will become numb within a few minutes. Is this because of the gear[1000mg sos, 100mg EOD winny]? Is it just due to working out and having a heavier body? Should I be concerned?
Thanks in advance.

happens to me too. i blame it on thoracic outlet syndrome caused by tight scalene muscles and tight pec minor from hypertrophy of both muscle groups over time. i learned to sleep on my back and to keep both arms elevated on pillows that i lay next to me and now i have no problems

Thanks Doc, I have the same problem and it all began when I started to exercise consistently with heavier weights 2 years ago. I put quite a lot of effort into my own research and even went to the doctor and had a scan but they were useless. Now I finally know what it is, and it sounds pretty convincing that this is the problem.
Thanks again, by the way do you know how many people who lifts weights suffer from this?

quite a few more than i thought. it can also be congenital with some people, if you have a cervical rib that can also cause this problem, but this is very very rare. and if you had an xray or mri it would have been seen by the radiologist.

Thanks in advance for your response...Last edited by Flexor; 11-21-2005 at 04:51 PM.

worked like a charm, a little difficult to get comfortable in at first, but it feels a lot better than your arms being numb.
thanks doc

exactly! smart man, it is designed to soley isolate the supraspinatus. do you have some back ground in PT or kineseology?

A pennate muscle like the deltoid or brachialis responds better to slower movements with a constant tension load, especially through the eccentric lowering. If I do standing raises though, its the front/lateral with the thumbs pointed ever so slightly down to try to target the medial more, but without causing impingement on the acromion.
Thanks doc for the advice. I went and hurt that part of my neck yesterday doing straight leg deadlifts though, I must have looked down to check my grip on the bar half way through!!

hey doc, im still having problems with the numbing, but now i feel it in my fingers a lot of the time. Usually when im driving, might be that im gripping the steering wheel too tight. You think it could be cause I raised my sos dosage ?

uraised it/ weren't you doing 1000mg a wk already? i am not sure what to make of it, it still may be TOS, without doing ortho tests on you, and trust me they aren't always 1005 rt , i cant tell. drop the dose back and see if it improves, it may be from the extra size and water tension but its far from deffinate.
