A member asked:

Could damaged back muscles lead to hand problems?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: There is no connection between the muscles of the back and hands. It is more likely for you to have a separate problem with the hands. See a board certified orthopaedic surgeon for evaluation and treatment.
