What to do if i have numbness of thumb after breaking hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numbness: You may have damaged a nerve responsible for sensation. Unfortunately there is not much you can do to regain sensation, but therapy specific to the function of the thumb is very important. With time, some sensation may come back, but not guaranteed.
