Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i had an injury to my right thumb about ten years ago then at times it would go numb and then hurt every now and then. It seemed to get worse when I gained weight and when i lie down at night. About three weeks ago it has gone from my hand getting numb and my forearm with extreme pain. It even stays numb with a little pain while up and about. My neck is always stiff. I don t know whether to see a Doctor about my hand or back?
