My hand has gone numb since my 6st son accidentally stepped on my relaxed hand. My fine motor skills have, now almost completely gone. I can normally touch type, but now I don't know where my fingers are going. I am completely stressing over it because I was looking for a job in the IT sector due to graduating with a business IT degree.
I don't think it is CTS (median nerve) due to the fact that my pinky and ring fingers are just as numb as my thumb and index finger. My doc won't refer me to the hospital until it has been a month; it has currently been 15 days since the first tingling sensation. The numb feeling has also spread all the way up my arm down to the waist on the left side of my body.
Please don't tell me to go to the doctors because they are quite useless! My doctor did check my blood pressure and my reflexes concluding it was not my blood pressure or a stroke. He said that my nerves have gone weak, and to go back and see him in 2 wks if symptoms persist.

Ok, the shock theory sounds good but to tell you the truth I sleep on the floor, I asked my son to turn off the PC because I was recovering from a stomached bug. I.e. I didn't have the strength to get up. He stepped on my hand while it was under the duvet, all I got was "oh sorry mama". Then I fell asleep within minutes, I do tend to fall into a deep sleep quickly.
Any way the point is the tingling started on the tips of my index finger and thumb the next day while I was driving.
Thanks for trying!!!

I don't have any back pain so i doubt it is a pinched nerve. I have been doing a bit of research on this and apparently nerves can be hard to treat. So getting refered to the hospital doesn't sound too good.
Thanks for taking your time and reading all the waffle above.

Sorry you feel that doctors are useless. Probably treatment by quacks will be better for you. However, there are really very good doctors out there who can help you. I think you need to change your GP.

perhaps its nerve shock because ur hand was relaxed then it wasnt and if u moved it after it was stood on and got cramp it may be still in shock

Are you diabetic? Could be peripheral neuropathy.
