Does Numb Hand With Sharp Pain To Touch Mean Fractured Hand?

Is my hand fractured? So I fell on my skateboard about a month ago and hurt my hand bad I think its my lunate. It was numb and it hurt. Yesterday I was skating and fell and hurt it again and I had to take some medicine to reduce pain. And today I fell on it again really hard and it was numb and had a sharp pain I have hurt the same part of my hand 3 times in the past month. Should I go to the doctor? If its fractured can I just let it heal on its own without going to a doctor?
