[Rove R2-4K] Happened to me two months ago and now I’m having hand issues.

Long story short; lady pulled out in front of me and I T-boned her a little over 2 months ago. Both of my hands were on the steering wheel when the impact happened. I had virtually no time to react; I was driving an 07 TSX so the van to the left was towering over my view. Both of my wrists ached at the time but my doctor told me they’d heal up in about two weeks; which they did. Fast forward a month, I started to feel my fingers in my right hand go numb. It was super light and brief so I didn’t think too much of it, but a couple days ago the numbness lingered. As of today, 4/5 fingers in my right hand are completely numb and my wrist aches terribly. I went to the doctor today and they told me I might have carpal tunnel and I might need to have surgery to fix it.

My lawyer has been (literally) with me since day one. This is just not the news I was hoping to hear. I’m only 20 years old and I can barely type on a keyboard now. I’m just hoping I don’t lose the ability to use my hand, because no amount of money can replace that. I got a Dashcam when I first started driving when I was 16, and I never thought it would help so much in this instance because it proves I literally couldn’t avoid the collision or react. Thanks everyone for hearing me out, I just hope everything with my hand will be okay. Stay safe everyone.
