Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.
In view of the background history,you have provided,its likely that your hand movements are restricted due to a nerve injury.
A nerve conduction study of upper limbs will help to look for the evidence of nerve damage.So,you should get it done.
Physical examination by a neurologist will help to better guide the management in this case.
I suggest you to get yourself examined by a neurologist.
If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
