How Can Pain And Numbness In The Hands And Fingers Be Treated?
On Jan 31 of this year, I was the passenger on a motorcycle when a car ran a stop sign and ran right over us. I suffered a fractured hip and my femur was broken in 2 places. Naturally, I ve been on crutches since then. During this past week I ve woke in the middle of the night in EXTREMELY numbness and pain in my hands and fingers. Especially my right hand and right ring finger. Please PLEASE can you help me?
