Hi,
Numbness is usually related to nerves that supply a particular area. The nerves that supply the hand would originate in the neck region and pass through the shoulder.
Imaging in these areas by X-ray would be the first step to find the cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
