Be sure your wrist is completely bent and then in a negative position to feel any stretch. Also be sure you are standing straight as in the standard form position I have listed so often. If you are stooped then your arm will just function as well as it always compensates. Since you wake up with this it is probably neurological and you need to look closely at your cervical health. I don't want to be an alarmist but this is one of the first complaints I hear from people with carpal tunnel syndrome. If you don't address it , it will get worse even if you manifest unique symptoms. You know that Homer says you need to have intelligent hands and you have put me to task on this issue.I have had many clients in their ninties and have yet to see them have the strength or dexterity of their youth.In each of these cases we were dealing with some significantly rounded shoulders. There is truly little that can't be corrected by finding your most perfect alignment; hips, heart and hands. Vickie
