Hi,
It can be due to vitamin D3 B12 or folic acid deficiencies and levels may be confirmed and replacement may be needed orally. Resuming a balanced diet with small portions, more vegetables and fruits can be a wise choice here. If problem persists, nerve conduction studies may be needed along with detailed neurological examination of upper limbs.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
