I have trigeminial neuralgia & my right hand wrist have gone dead can't hold.pick up anything it turns inward could this be bc of lesion on brain stem?

Good question: Unlikely but possible. If you have trigeminal neuralgia, before starting medications for treatment. One would get an MRI brain, that would include the brain stem area, and should answer the question you raised(other likely scenario in a young person is multiple sclerosis with multiple lesions). Recommend bringing this issue with your neurologist.
