This morning I woke up at 3 am listening to the wind noises and my hands were bunched into fists and when I released them they were numb. Numb hands have been a thing for while but this is the first time I realise I am making fists in my sleep and waking up from it. I wonder whether the body posture which might be habit is making the symptom of anger and waking up or the other way.
I had plantar fasciosis ( necrosis of the fascia under the foot that needs inflammation to carry it away) - symptoms of it were worse in morning if you slept with your toes flexed down. So using a towel or bolster I kept the foot flexed up - it helped stop the morning pain. Similarly are pain specialist who saw me before being diagnosed for the plantar fasciosis - pointed out my poor posture and I have been correcting it ever since - with almost instant changes in levels of depression. Do we stoop because we are depressed or are we depressed because we stoop.
I am wondering if somehow splinting my hands might break the fist clenching habit and possibly end the anxiety if anyone else has seen physio or pain management for managing psychological symptoms through posture and exercise - it popped up again when I was looking up pain in sex and apparently if it is anxiety that causes muscle spasm and constriction making everything tight uncomfortable and even closed then doing kiegel exercise and exercising more control over those muscle can help break the habit of anxiety spasms. Any experience in the same area
