(((((Kelly)))))..With me, it's my left hand and getting slowly number. I also have pain as well. I guess the nerves are numb but the muscles can still be painful.
My right hand is just a little numb and no pain, so I'm thankful for that, since I am right handed. I find that doing hand exercises and stretching help the numbness and pain a little.
I hope a little stretching & finger exercise helps you..
