My left hand had really bad pain last week, near the thumb (below and behind) When went to the doctor nothing was seen in physical examination I was told to wear a thumb spleen. Today morning since the time I got up my ring finger and the small finger  is becoming numb again and again. That's how my hand looks.

Take soft spogy ball in hand and keep on pressing it. Consult nearby physio for stretching exercises of wrist and elbow muscles. Get vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels checked. If no improvement may need NCV AND EMG OF LIMB DONE.
