Sorry you have several issues. The hands may suffer carpal tunnel syndrome, and EMG testing would help. The back is a different issue, and needs to be examined and possibly imaged. Physical therapy may be an approach for all. Would initially seek appt with primary care doctor. Maybe physiatrist later.
