It is probably lack of practice and losing fine skills involved in writing, unfortunately another long term side effect of the powerful electronic revolution. However if your fingers feel numb or stiff, inflammation as seen in rheumatoid arthritis or a neurologic disease (through apraxia) may need to be ruled out and talking to your doc would be recommended.
