Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Most likely cause for numbness in hands is peripheral neuropathy.
I would like to know what kind of job you are doing like playing musical instrument/job which makes hand vibratory - then there are chances of Raynaud's phenomenon. In this condition, people will experience numbness in hand with similar cold feeling. Cold stimulation test confirms it.

We should also rule out hypothyroidism where few patient experience similar symptoms. Get T3, T4, and TSH done.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
