Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Hand numbness is usually caused by damage, irritation or compression of one of the nerves or a branch of one of the nerves in your arm and wrist.
I suggest to do an xray of the hand.
I also recommend to do a complete blood count and a glycemic level to exclude diabetes which affects the peripheral nerves.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
