What Causes Numbness In Thumb?
Hi,
I am in a safe place. Tuesday night my husband hurt me. One of the injuries the police recorded was a large bruise just above the elbow. Tonight, I'm experiencing numbness/tingling in my right pinky and right thumb, the underside of my right arm below the elbow - and it feels cool to the touch, and swelling in my upper arm on the same side, as well I have some upper back pain just below my neck. What I'm wanting to know is whether i should go to the emergency room or if this can wait until the local clinic opens in the morning.
