How Can severe Numbness And Tingling In The Hand Be Treated?

I had a broken elbow over 3 months ago and had no numbness or tingling as of my last visit to my orthopedic Dr.. the last 2 weeks since my last visit I have had numbness in my hand and tingling down my arm. I am left handed and he symptoms are in my left arm and hand. Thought it may be a pinch g ed nerve in my shoulder but it is not affecting all t h e fingers.

Hi,
Thanks for answering. I have read your query &understand your concern.
The nerve pinching can be at elbow level... compressing the nerve supplying the affected part... giving the typical symptoms.
Consult orthopedic doctor for management.
Thanks.
