Hi, I bent my left hand middle finger back last Tuesday. not excessively. I heard a pop in my wrist. hurt a bit. Thought I would shake it off. Wednesday though I lost all feelings in my thumb of my left hand. A feeling similar to when you go to the dentist and have an injection prior to a filling. It s not all my thumb just the left side. It s not got any worse nor better. Any idea what I have done. Thanks
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to a peripheral nerve damage. I recommend performing a nerve conduction study (electroneurography) to examine better your nerves in this arm, if the problem persists. Anyway, I do not think that this is something serious. It will recover spontaneously. I would just recommend avoiding possible trauma or heavy weight lifting with this arm. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,
