What Causes Numbness In Sprained Hand?

Hi, I was diagnosed with a sprained hand, its very inflamed, a little swollen and bruised in some areas... x-rays indicated no visible breaks and that it would only get better...Now it's getting worse, its becoming more and more numb. Is there something else I should be concerned with?

Based on the facts of your query the reply of your query is-
Your current health issues seem to be due to -the sprained tendons with entrapment of Median nerve and ulnar nerves from tissue edema.

Rest Elevation and post slab for the wrist immobilisation for 6 weeks.
Repeat X-ray under stress may fix the hairline fracture
Therefore he needs to be attended urgently to avoid further complications.

Therefore Cause of these complaints -like above discussed needs to be ruled out.
Other causes-like discussed above , need to be verified.For this you need to consult Orthopedic Surgeon.
