Just wondering what I should do about my hand, its still numb after a day since it was taken off cuffs. It was cuffed for about 30 mins. It has full strength, I just cant feel anything in it.
and if I have to go in to get it looked at, can I get the prick cop to pay for any of the medical bills this hand is going to cost me? I asked him multiple times to loosen them since I couldn't feel my hand.
thanks.

 Hello --
You're probably suffering some short term nerve compression problems, most likely of the ulnar nerve. It should resolve in a short time, but if it doesn't it becomes a medical-legal problem. We can address the medical aspect here, but we do not dispense legal advice, especially of the sort you may require.
If the numbness does not resolve within a few days you'll need to see a neurologist to have this evaluated for possible trauma to a nerve. How this would be compensated does not fall within our purview. Sorry about that. Different website.
Good luck to you.
