Arm numbness/falling asleep. swollen hand/between pointer and thumb. 25 yearsold. manual labor job.started two weeks ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numbness: Swollen hands with arm numbness should be evaluated for underlying causes. Numbness is due to compression of underlying nerve most likely at the area of swelling though it could be at higher levels . A good exam will lead to appropriate investigations . Manual labor can make symptoms worse . Time to check with your doctor for next steps.
