Palm got freeze, not able to do anything
Hi doctor,
In June 2019 I was not able to take my proper diet due to fever and then suddenly my hands got numb, my both the palm was freezed and not able to move my fingers, I was not able to do anything with my hand, I had to rush the hospital and after a drip my hand was pefectly fine.
At today morning, my one palm got freezed again and not able to open my palm and my thumb has started bending towards the palm and then after 5-10 minutes palm was normal and then there was shivering for a while, please let me know is it because of weekness or it could be something else?
Thank you!!
