[|Human|] I am having a problem with my right hand and arm - the middle two fingers and thumb seem to be numb most of the time. This has been getting worse for the past two years and is now to the point that I do not rest well at night. In addition I have a torn rotator cuff on my left side from a fall on the ice a couple of years ago. What can I do about the numbness on the right side?
[|AI|]  Hi... Your numbness in your right hand is due to neural compression of a nerve called median nerve or due to nerve root compression...in the neck. I would like to know if there is any associated muscle weakness like reduced grip strength.etc suggest you to kindly meet a neurologist to get investigation done to rule out the source of problem and plan for treatment... Your left shoulder tear is not connected to this issue...while I would do suggest you to get a good rehab program and do it at least for six weeks to improve overall strength and function... Hope this is helpful for you. Kindly revert in case you need any further help in this regard...
