I was tired last night and ended up sleeping on the couch. When I woke up this morning I could barely move one arm. After rolling over and shaking it a bit it felt like all the blood started rushing into. However I've read that its actually the nerves starting to function again you feel. I'm worried I could get a blood clot and that feeling is kind of scary. It rarely happends but can you get a blood clot from sleeping on your arm wrong, or am I just compressing the nerves?

Oh, Iris! I've done that, too.
Except it isn't a broken neck - just pain from an unsupported head, as you know - but it hurts, bonny lass, it hurts.
love Tess

\I think you just slept on it, Joe.
If you were going to have a blood clot you'd have had it by now.
Howevere, in all my thirty years as a nurse I never once saw anyone with a blood clot in their arm.
Yes, try to keep calm - you were just compressing the nerves.
love from Tess xx

Oh you do havce anxiety, We all wake up with our limbs asleep. You don't have a blood clot, but sounds like you need to be on an antidepressant.
