What Could Be The Reason For Having Numbness On The Back Of My Hand?
I have a place on the back of my right hand that is numb. It also has a very painful burning sensation when skin is stretched in that area. Area affected is about the size of a half dollar. I also have this problem on my right foot just below the ankle.
