May need tests done : It is a bit unusual for a person to start having symptoms that long after an accident. Since you have recurrent symptoms it would probably be best to see Dr for complete evaluation of the nerves & circulation in that arm & hand, as there could be an issue unrelated to the accident. The purple color is worrisome for a circulation problem
