question: Hello! I am a Type 2 diabetic. I woke up last Friday and found that I could not use my right hand. When I put up both hands and hold them in front me the left hand stays in place. The right hand has a significant droop and all the fingers and thumbs were numb. I went to see my PCP and he also noticed that my right hand and arm were much colder to the touch. I was not able to hold a pen, brush my hair, or hold anything in my right hand. I have an appointment with a Neurologist this Friday. I have regained use of the hand and can now right and hold a half full glass of water. However, the pain has increased in the hand. I am happy that I have about a 50% improvement in my right hand but am confused why I had my initial loss of function in the hand and why their is now more pain. I know this could be many things but do you have two or three conditions that could be causing this. I
