Everyone, this is a little off subject so I thought to place in unused section of the forum per Dr. B's suggestion.

Over the last 2 years my hands have started losing strength in that 1) I cannot grip as hard as I used to, so opening jars is difficult and 2) if I'm holding something heavy with my fingers only, I sometimes drop it unexpectedly.

Also, if I grip something too hard, I experience stinging in my palm and wrist area well after the grip is over causing me to have to splay my fingers as far as I can to stop the stinging.

I do plan to visit the doctor, but I'm hoping to get more info before going in, so I can have a productive doctor visit. Has anyone else experienced this or something like it?

Thanks in advance for any response.
