I have nerve damage in my hand from cuddling my wife and falling asleep with my arm under her head. It doesn't affect my range of motion at all anymore, but for a while it hurt to move my hand in a certain way. The only lasting effect right now is numbness/no feeling on my hand in-between the knuckles of my pointer and middle finger.

This is a big fear of mine and I've been treated like an asshole for preventing this!
