What Causes Numbness And Visible Vein In Hands?

I have been getting numbness in both of my ands, mainly the right one. In the last two days I have noticed the vein over the back of my right hand and leading to my wrist is more swollen than usual and aching. I can have numbness in the hand even if I am actually lying on the opposite side.

This is caused by the Extra Cervical Rib with Scalene Anticus entrapment of brachial nerves / and or pectoralis Minor axillary compression.The result of this entrapment is expressed as numbness in both the hands and visible veins in right hand.

Remedy-

Tab Combiflam 1 x 2 times a day x 7 days
Gel Voltaren- locally on the sprained blue areas

you have to be examined to identify which side has the problem as it can be a neuroligal problem which needs some clinical test to diagnose
