Help! i'm having extreme weakness in my hand - what's going on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pinched nerve?: Most likely nerve compressed at the wrist, causing carpal tunnel syndrome, but source of weakness may be higher up into the arm or shoulder or neck. Good idea to see your doctor and get examined, as most of these situations can be reversed.
