Numbness in Limbs

Okay.... this has been happening for years and years.

When I lay down flat on bed or couch and propped my head up on some pillows and then rest my arms on my abdomen, within minutes both my hands start to tingle and go numb. It is also very painful. This also happens to me at night.

I had a cat-scan done about 3 or 4 years ago and it was determined that I had a slight herniated disk in my neck supposedly causing the numbness and tingling. My med practioner said to take Aleve on a daily basis to relieve it. Ummm...no. He then sent me to a neurologist who performed a painful nerve test with shocks and first diagnosed me with carpal tunnel, then changed his mind and said he didnt know what it was. (chuckling!) I started researching and diagnosed myself with thoracic outlet syndrome as it seems the symptoms matched what I had. I also had back surgery (sciatica L5-S1) done 9 years ago so I don't know if there is any possible scar tissue floating around in my spine or what.

My chiropractor was able to relieve some of the symptoms but still I am not cured and suffer pain and numbness on a daily basis. And forget the regular med doctors as they gave me four prescriptions, which are now in the garbage can, to take for relief. Most nights I sleep on my stomach, hence, turning my neck and I think that may have caused some damage to my neck... I don't know.

Does anyone or know of anyone that suffers from this type of condition and what they did to help relieve or cure naturally? Just looking for some relief!

Much, much thanks!
