    Numbness in right hand
    Whenever I bend my elbow for a few seconds, my right hand becomes numb. The funny bone area, there is no serious pain. While I'm typing this feeling in my right hand, my hand is numb as of now. Any help please.

    It sounds like there is some nerve damage there. It might be worth it to get checked out by a doctor and get a referral to a neurologist. They can probably figure out this issue.

    Are you right handed? Do you use your computer a lot? Do you use a mouse or the pad?
    It is extremely common to have problems with the dominant hand if you use a computer a lot. This is usually from your desk being too high. Your arm should be relaxed and resting on the desk without hunching up the shoulder. Next is the angle of your wrist. Too often people keep their wrist at an angle to one side. Please report back after studying how you sit and how you work. And in general, the entire arm from shoulder (or even neck) to hand can hurt and or go numb, in places or over the entire length, from too much computer use, no matter how careful you are.
    Solutions? Not easy. Wiggle your arm, wrist, shoulder a lot. Take breaks. Use a heating pad with a damp washcloth when lying down. Your CHAIR should be a height that plants both feet flat on the floor with a space under your thighs at the front edge. Your DESK should be a height that allows your arm to rest on it without raising your shoulder. If you have a notebook computer, you have to train yourself not to hunch over to peer at the screen.
