Hi,
Numbness in hand is due to nerve compression over elbow due to injury, have you got your x-ray done? Is there any fracture?
Usually, they heals with time and do not required active intervention but sometimes they need medicine or surgical procedure. I need to see your x-ray to guide you properly as management will depend on that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopaedic Surgeon
