I have a damaged nerve in my arm and have started to get weakness in my right hand when griping things what should i do?

See a neurologist: If you have suffered from damage to the median nerve, then you may not be able to grab objects with your hand. See a neurologist to discuss the injury that led to nerve damage and to undergo a neurological exam. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000691.htm
