Why can i sometimes grip things firmly - but not always?

Weak grip: Intermittent weak grip can be caused by nerve problems, spinal cord problems, or brain problems. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a nerve problem that is probably the most common of all these issues. You should see your doctor for an examination and recommendations.

Muscle spasm: Probably muscle spasm but electrolyte changes and cervical radiculopathy need to be considered.
