If i have anything in my left hand only a few pounds, i tend to loose my lift (can't lift it!) in that arm, what is going off with my left arm?

Some ideas 4 answer: Many things can limit your strength. It could be an injured muscle or tendon, arthritis in a joint or pain, or different nerve input, from the brain, spinal cord, brachial plexus, or peripheral nerves. A thorough history and exam would help to answer your question.
