After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that hand numbness and difficulty on holding stuff can be a neurological disorder which needs to be evaluated.
It’s recommended for you to get a MRI Brain and consult a neurologist for further evaluation and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap,
