Shoulders, arms, soreness, fingers, numbness

Under normal circumstances, the shoulder will not feel pain or numbness. If the entire shoulder feels sore and painful, and the fingers are numb and weak, it is likely caused by a serious illness. The most common one is cervical spondylosis, which needs timely treatment. Massage can also be used to relieve pain. Apart from the cervical spine, what other causes may cause shoulder, arm, and finger numbness?

Causes of shoulder, arm, and finger numbness

First, the environment has an impact. It may be because you often stay in dark and humid places, which causes the body to lose calcium and leads to bad bones, thus causing symptoms such as arm numbness and shoulder pain. Therefore, you should get more sun exposure to supplement calcium and avoid staying in places with humid air.

Second, the shoulder problem. For those who often sit in the office, long periods of inactivity or lack of exercise can easily cause shoulder pain, which in turn affects the arms. Therefore, for friends in the office, it is necessary to exercise your shoulders occasionally and stand up and move your limbs appropriately.

Third, the sleeping posture is wrong. Because our sleeping posture is incorrect at night, we will feel numbness and pain in our hands and shoulders when we wake up, so we must maintain a good sleeping posture at night.

Fourth, the impact of the Jianjing point. Since injury to the Jianjing point can cause shoulder pain, headache, heavy head and sore hands, etc., we can relieve the pain by massaging the Jianjing point in daily life. In daily life, we should also protect the Jianjing point and avoid damage to avoid causing any impact on the body.

Fifth, being suppressed for a long time. For example, if I am not sleeping and am lying on the table, with my head pressing on my arms for a long time, it can easily lead to insufficient blood supply and cause numbness in my hands. Then we just need to press and massage it, and it will heal itself after a while.
