Could be a pinched nerve or worse. You should see a doctor as soon as possible.

That is clearly some form of nerve damage ... I'm not a doctor, but this has been going on for a month with no attributable cause?? Get yourself to a doctor now! I'd start with a good family doctor or GP (General Practitioner) ... but they'll probably refer you to a neurologist. This could be something fairly simple ... like pinched nerves, but without knowing test results it is equally possible that you've got a degenerative neurological disorder or some other serious condition. The doctors can do MRIs and nerve conduction tests or other tests to see if something is going on that needs to be treated.

Numb: Numb, or numbness is a loss of the sensation of feeling in an area of the body. Numbness results from damage to, or impaired function of, the nerves that supply the affected area. The function of the nerves may be impaired by numerous causes including some chronic diseases (diabetes mellitus, thyroid disease, migraine), trauma, toxins, decreased blood supply due to atherosclerosis or other conditions, electrolyte imbalances, and pressure on the spinal nerves from herniated discs or other diseases of the spine.

This condition is called peripheral neuropathy. One of the most common causes is diabetes, but there are dozens of other things that might explain your symptoms. There is no way to diagnose your condition over the internet. Since numbness can be a symptom of diabetes and other problems that require treatment, you should see a doctor right away.

Sounds like what I suffer from the beginnings of peripheal neuropathy. However, it could be anything from nerve damage to tendonitis. Please go to a doctor immediately and find out before it gets worse.
