Has anyone had nerve damage from sleeping with armband on?

I actually wore it for the first time last night (I just got it yesterday), and i woke up today my whole left arm hurting! I will try to wear it more loosely after my arm stops hurting...

No , but I have used them in some pretty rocky terrain and arm fatigue wasn't an issue.

I haven't had any such problem with this brace. It's comfortable enough for me. But I don't wear it at night I use it only to keep my trigger thumb in check when I'm doing manual work.

I left mine on all day all night. It was gooey when I removed mine the next morning. So for me, "no". If one is just wearing it for couple hours, yes!

I haven't noticed sleeping warmer. It might be because of the cover. I have a pinched nerve in my back and I think it helps that a lot. I actually hate getting out of bed in the mornings.

I wear mine at all times except when I'm sleeping. Have been doing so for at least 6 weeks with no problem.

I have fallen asleep with it on but it's a bad idea to sleep with anything that restrics blood flow..

I put a hair elastic around it to keep the button down. I know that thwarts the safety of it, but I like the heat. Just don't fall asleep if you're going to do that.

I was wearing it once when I got on a plane and the pilot sanding at his door said I had to turn it off. I did some research and there was a case where a man got a burn on his butt because he was sitting on it in his pocket. It was determined that he had the wrong battery n it.

Morning Banana Girl - yes, we just re-tested for you and my partner who stayed stationary with me rustling and turning could barely feel a thing. I LOVE our foam topper. Good Luck! Save a Marriage, buy this product. laughing.....

An interesting question. I wear Imaks for peripheral neuropathy, rather than arthritis. They make my hands less uncomfortable, although I have nerve tingling in my hands all the time. Yet, there are days when the compression is too much for me, and the tingling feels worse. On balance I can't imagine that the gloves cause the tingling. I would expect that the fault lies elsewhere (e.g sugar, etc.)

yes. There is the big cushioned ball inside on which your fingers rest. I tend to clench my fingers into a fist, too, and my fingers become numb. This support prevents that. It's a comfortable support, but it is "hot' wearing it at night during summer time as I sweat. I wear a support each night on both hands. I can now sleep through the whole night without waking to numb fingers. The reason you have to wear it at night is that its design prevents you from doing anything with your hands so if you want or need to do something, you have to remove the support.

Yes ma'am, I'm with guygo. I'd never leave this thang on at night. it does have one a them cut-off thangs on it but I'd never trust it overnight. Th best safety device is what's between my ears.

The one time I used during a night of sleep, I was able to review the data second by second for the entire night in the morning. I taped the Iphone to my left arm and and a little masking tape around the finger unit to keep it secure. I would highly recommend purchasing the iphone accessory harness that allows a more comfortable fitting for the iphone on your forearm.

Comfortable, I use mine almost every night!..I actually bought this for my right arm, which was basically immobile, after one use I regained mobilitiy, and continue to use it, both on my back & on my arm!

My guess is that they are concerned that if the sleeve is too tight, it could impair circulation at night. During the day this is less of an issue because the arm is moving about and as such moving blood.

I don't have wrist problems so I can't say, I can say though that the band did help with the outer bone on my elbow pain, I am having a few problems with it though, one is, if I wear it for any length of time I get a rash from the upper pad & the velcro tends to dig into my arm & actually caused a cut/sore, i tried putting a piece of a cut sock under it to help with both, but that only causes it to not stay in place for more than a couple of hours, with it being winter & extremely cold here in New England I'm wearing lots of long sleeves so it's not easy to get it back to where it should be without just giving up & taking it off for the rest of my work day.
