What Causes Numbness In The Hands And Legs After A Rotor Cuff Injury?

i had rotor cuff injury 2 years ago. Which resulted in numbness in my hands and arms. Several monlths ago i started feeling numbness in my foot and leg. I was in a car accident several months and now the numbness goes to my upper back. I can not distinguish hot or cold on my right side (foot to upper back). my doctor does not think the accident has any cause here. I am a caterer and recently wasted hot water on my thigh. When I take a bath, i have to put my right foot in first to make sure it is not too hot. i need to know what is going on.

Hello,

Consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.

We have to rule out possible causes like peripheral neuropathy.

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