General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It could be due to injury to one of the nerves in the arm. As it is already late, repair may not be possible. Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. An MRI scan is required for further assessment. As a first line management you can take Vitamin-B12 tablets for symptomatic relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
