********NUMBNESS IN HANDS**********TO BE SURE, YOU WOULD HAVE TO see a doctor. One possibility is "carpal tunnel syndrome".

What are the effects of ulnar nerve damage?
My ulnar nerve was partially severed in 1972. I immediately lost all sensation in my right arm. As days passed, I began to gain the ability to move the arm but eventually experienced intensive pain from the injury (from just above the elbow) to the hand. That pain subsided, in time, to the current state of numbness. I lost all strength in the arm and it took months of intensive therapy to redevelop the muscle strength. I experience permanent numbness in the lower half of the middle, ring, and pinkie fingers. In addition, the lower hand and forearm experience similar numbness. I experience periodic clawing of the affected fingers and at times the complete hand will curl in. The injured area above the elbow has, and always will be, extremely sensitive to touch.
