Many possibilities: It really depends on what's causing your weakness. Please first see your primary care doctor, who can determine the possible causes and then suggest next steps.

Get a diagnosis: Do you have pinched nerves in neck, shoulder, elbow, or wrist? Diagnosis and appropriate treatment can readily reverse.
