What Causes Weakness In Left Hand And Thumb

Male 46 in good health, Recently started to notice weakness in my left hand and thumb. There is no pain and no tingling. I have seen my doctor but nothing was abnormal from a medical view other than my hand. Hand feels awkward and slightly lethargic with fine motor skills.

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve, although the lack of numbness is not normal. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing nerve conduction studies.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
