You should be evaluated by a neurologist to make sure this is not due to a nerve injury. There are tests that can be done to diagnose a nerve issue. It could also be more of a muscle issue and a rheumatologist may be able to help diagnose a muscle disorder. You likely need more tests and evaluations by neurology/rheumatology to get diagnosed and then treated. Good luck to you!
