Has your hand ever recovered? My daughter age 21 woke up this morning with the same symptoms so feeling worried as to the outcome and whether her hand will work again?

Dave Mustaine, lead vocalist and guitarist for the heavy metal band Megadeth, suffered a hand injury similar to what is described here, as a result of falling asleep on his arm. After much physical therapy he regained the use of his hand, and 10 years later is still playing guitar.
Here's a short youtube clip of him answering a fan question about his experience,

my husbans is experiencing the same right hand issue. He went to sleep sitting down on the couch. When he woke up in the morning he noticed that his hand was not cooperating. Today 1/15/12 is day 2 of this craziness. I told him not to give up on the hand. I've been reminding him to use the right hand otherwise the brain might think it is no longer needed. This is very strange. I thought maybe he had a mild stroke while he was sleeping. Maybe he pinched a nerve.
my name is Angeline and the same thing happened to me but it's my left wrist n hand. mine happened 26 days ago n I still don't have use of mine. My hand falls limp also but I can turn my hand palm side up and can raise my hand up but it kinda draws my fingers up. but I can turn my hand over palm down n I cannot raise my hand up its like my wrist will not function. I'm very scared so if u have found out anything please let me know. thanks
THE EXACT SAME STORY AS MINE PAM. DID YOU EVER FIND OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING? IT WAS JUST 4 DAY AGO TODAY FOR ME!
