When they stepped on your arm a nerve was impinged. The question now is which one. Is the entire hand numb or just certain areas. My guess is that the palm region and perhaps the thumb and the first 3 fingers are what is numb. If so then they stepped on the median nerve, if the last two fingers are numb it is the ulnar and if the back of the hand is numb it is likely the radial nerve. If the feeling does not return in the next week or so, seek medical attention, or a good chiropractor to find the site of impingment and attempt to release the nerve pressure.

Sounds like you sustained some nerve damage from this injury.The nerve may have been crushed or pinched.This numbness may be
short term,but if it has not improved in a week i would see a physician.A Dr.may order a conductivity test to check the viability of the nerve.

this person could have damaged the nerve from your arm that continues to your hand and therefore that is why it is numb. You could have a pinched nerve. You should see a doctor

Probably a nerve or circulation problem. See a doctor.
