Over the last three days, I ve lost the ability to brush my hair and teeth and using toilet paper is extremely difficult. is there something that causes this that might go away?

Hello,
Most probably it could be a nerve injury.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
