What Causes Numbness In The Right Hand?

Good afternoon, my 94 year old aunt who lives in Florida has numbness in her right hand. She went to her primary doctor who simply said it is OLD AGE??? That doesn t sound right to me. What type of doctor should my aunt go to??? I, unfortunately, live in NJ and not happy at all with her primary doctor response.

Hi..

Welcome to healthcare magic.

As you mentioned you have problem of numbness in hand that may because of nerve compression problem or vitamin b12 deficincey or diabitic neuropathy or other reasons.
Consult a physician for further diagnosis.
Detail history and investigation give exact idea about problems.
MRI is helpful for further information.
Start a treatment as per reason behind it..
