What Is Causing Numbness In Hand And Fingers Along With Pain In Wrist And Thumb?
I have numbness in my right hand and fingers all the time in the fingers half the time in the hand. I cut 3 of my fingers in 2005 and had sergery on the fing next to my little finger to try and repair the tendon but it didn't work, I can't flex the finger to close my hand all the way, I also have pain in wrist. I have severe pain in my left hand around the thumb, wrist and the heel of my palm. The pain in the left hand is alot more than the right hand but I don't have any numbness.
What would be some of the causes of this ? Iam 68 years old and a general contractor and in very good shape mostof the time my hands have been like since about 2008.
