Muscle relaxers

I went to my General Practioner the other day because I have been having problems sleeping. The problems are a direct result of the fact that during the middle of the night my hands go numb and I have a painful ¨pins and needles¨ feeling in them which yanks me out of my otherwise ¨light¨sleep. I never have been able to get a really good´s night sleep due to other circumstances, but that´s a different post. I was hoping that my doctor would be able to give me a solution or recommend me to a specialist. I had gone on my own to 2 different massage therapist, which specialize in sport´s or deep tissue massage. Both told me that my muscles were over devolped and were pushing on my nerve. But since things were not getting any better I thought I might as well go the Doctor route. After touching my shoulder and neck she prescribed Vitamin B and muscles relaxers. Each I am to take for a whole month. The vitamin B, I am okay with, but muscle relaxers for a whole month. That seems like a lot. I am afraid I will become an addict after a month. The good thing is instead of just my hands going numb my whole body feels numb and I sleep like a baby. I also see this as another temporary solution. But I have decided to try it and hopefully after a month I will not be looking in sketchy neighborhoods looking for someone to sell me my dosis of pain killers so I can sleep¨like a baby¨.
