Dr. Glenn Messina answered

Specializes in Aesthetic Medicine

Why: How did it start, trauma? Sleep on hand? Typing all day long. These are things you have to think about this can be a nerve injury to trauma that takes weeks to heal or carpel tunnel See a neurologist soon get a real diagnosis and treatment plan
