What Causes Numbness And Loss Of Muscle Tone In Hand?

For over a year now I have had numbness in my left hand and left pinky, also loss of muscle tone in the whole hand. As if my hand is shrnking. I have seen a family physician and a nerve specialist. Nothing has been determined and now I am having some pain in the hand and fore arm.

Hi,
Loss if muscle tone in hand and numbness is mainly caused by Cervical compression due to cervical spondylosis.
Take diclofenac with chloroxazone tablet twice a day after food for 5 days. Get an X-ray of cervical spine AP and Lateral view. Kindly visit Orthopedician for proper advise. Physiotherapy exercises should reduce your symptoms and restrain the muscle tone.
Wish you good health.
