Doctor's Answer

I would recommend that you see a neurologist for evaluation. You need to have a EMG/NCS (muslce/nerve test) to better define what is wrong with your hand. If you had a EMG before the first surgery, it should be compared to that. If you can have a MRI of the cervical and thoracic spines it may better visualize any abnormalities. It may be possible to have a disc problem in the lower cervical cord which is producing hand weakness and pain in the back. This is a reaonable first step. Good luck.
thank you
