Why is it called honeymoon palsy?
The condition is called radial nerve palsy, which can develop when the radial nerve is compressed near the elbow. “Radial nerve palsy is often referred to as honeymoon palsy, due to the closer sleeping habits of newlyweds,” Dr. Ebraheim said.
What causes radial palsy?
Radial nerve palsy can be caused by pressure injuries caused by awkward body positions for long periods of time, such as while working or sleeping; bruises that put pressure on the radial nerve; growths such as tumors or cysts; and devices such as tight watches pressing on the wrist or crutches pressing under the arm.
