I had an EGD this morning...I guess the anesthesia I had is considered General Anesthesia. Well, for the last 2.5 hours my hands are numb and tingly. Position doesn't seem to make a difference...they are more tingly when I don't move them, and it seems to be going up my arm to my elbow. I found this article: http://mmcneuro.wordpress.com/2013/04/26/post-operative-peri pheral-neuropathy/ but I'm really not very well versed in medical stuffs. Has anyone experienced this? Am I just freaking out???

You could have pinched a nerve based on your position for the EGD.  If the tingling doesn't go away, call the doctor.  In the meantime, keep moving since that seems to help.
