Hi.
Some people may notice nerve compression with a tennis elbow. This may cause compression of the nerves and can cause numbness in the hand.
Many people find icing the area of compression for about 15 mins uesful. This can help to reduce the size of the swelling and reduces the compression of the nerve. With time, the numbness would also reduce.
I also find icing, warming, and then a gentle massage useful.
I hope this works out for you! All the best.
