Pinched nerve: Sounds like a pinched nerve, most likely from your neck. See a neurologist or an orthopedic surgeon for a evaluation.

Sometimes when I try to grip items with my thumb and forefinger I have little strength. If I adjust my hand position the feeling goes away. If I push through it there is a shock feeling in my wrist. Not painful as such. No tingling/persistent pain.
