Question
Last year I lifted a table and tore out the right rotator cup and also throw out c4/5 in the neck.  At tht time i also lost feeling in both right and left hand. (corpal tunnel) I have had a disc placed in neck - repaird cup and both hands done.  What could cause the hand injury - per the neck or shoulder injury??

Answer
The nerves that supply the hands actually start in the neck, then they go under the collar bone, through the shoulder, through the elbow and the muscles of the forearm and then to their destination in the hands.  So the problem in your hands could be coming from any of those places.  It also takes a long time for injuries like this to heal, nerves take a while to regenerate.
