I am sleep deprived and fatigued. I have been taking Ropinirole 2mg for about five years for RLS. I have had numbness in my hands when I wake up in the am and during the night. I have had severe numbness and pain in my hands along with the numbness for about one week. Same symptoms but more intense all of a sudden.
Thank you for asking Chat Doctor.  My name is Chat Doctor.  Well I would also be pleased to know the age and occupation... Regarding pain and numbness in hands kindly get a Digital X-ray cervical spine to find out the cause which is causing these symptoms. Prolapsed inter-vertebral disc in cervical region suggests your symptoms.  So don't get late to visit a neurosurgeon along with x-ray so that you can be properly treated and rule out the neurosurgical cause of your symptoms... If they say nothing to worry from their side then just relax and get your sleep habits sound and reduce work overload...I hope you will feel good once you visit neurosurgeon along with X-ray cervical spine AP and Lateral view. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.
