Specializes in Neurosurgery

Impingement : It sounds like you have a shoulder impingement that is irritating nerves that travel to your hand. The other cause could be from a disk bulge in your neck but most people would also have neck pain. I would see your gp to get it examined and he/she can order the appropriate imaging study to determine the cause and treatment.
