Getting up and around and/or elbow pads do the trick. But you got the $5000 workup to address something that an anesthesiologist would just know.

LOL seemed really simple now but it took a few days and lots O'spensive stuff to figure out. Prolly needed a better ana .... anastese... uh sleep doc.
I didn't know if it was a nerve or blood flow thing so I just guessed.

At the time I was 25 years old, 6'2" 195# and was a total gym rat lifting almost every day with a BFI of single digits, so the non-obese thing was right on.
Back then at least
