Numbness like this could be work related if you do something with your arm constantly - like working a line (assembly) or anything that is repetitive. With carpal tunnel syndrome, numbness is a common symptom, as well as tingling and pain. Without treatment, this condition can get worse.
Does your work include repetitive motion of the right arm? If so, talk to your doctor about testing and treatment.
