[|Human|] I have had numbness in my right hand for about a month or so. It comes and goes and usually comes when I am using that hand or the opposite when I am sleeping it goes so numb that it keeps me awake and is actually quite painful. I have seen my doctor and he thinks it is related to arthritis that I have but no other place that is irate by my arthritis is affected.
