Maybe nuerologic: True weakness implies something neurological. Compression of peripheral nerves (such as carpal tunnel syndrome or toxic nerve injury) can cause hand weakness. Injury to the central nervous system (such as spinal cord injury) can cause weakness. Questions such as length of time, loss of sensation and other symptoms can help figure it out. A good physical exam and history by your doc can help.
