HI
Thanks for posting your query.
Your symptoms are due to nerve injury. You need to get tested with Nerve conduction study of Left hand to check for severity of nerve injury as treatment depends on the severity.
Till then you can use Capsule Pregabalin daily. Ask prescription for this from your doctor. Revert back with the test report.
Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarifications feel free to ask.
