Hello,
You really need to see a neurologist to sort out the problem. If it is nerve damage, then it may be possible for a hand surgeon to repair it, but you need to know the cause first. See a neurologist as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kathy Robinson
