What Causes Poor Grip And Pain In Hands?

Hello my name is Kelsey and my question is, what would be the cause of me dropping things from my right hand without even realizing I am letting go of whatever it is in my hamd at the time? It doesn t happen all the time though but I notice sometimes my hand and fingers hurt really bad once in awhile.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of cervical nerve root there can be weakness in your fingers.
Also there can be large disc bulge which can be compressing over spinal cord.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication like pregabalin can be started consulting your doctor.

Till time, avoid lifting weights. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like Tens and interferential therapy may give you relief for few days.

As you are a musician and you need fine functioning of your fingers, in case of nerve compression leading to finger weakness you need to decompress nerve surgically.
If nerve compression becomes symptomatically severe then surgical decompression will give permanent relief.
I will advise you new MRI cervical spine and EMG-NCV [nerve conduction study].

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
