Can no longer use my right hand anymore. Started with dull numbing from elbow down over a year ago but now I cannot coordinate fingers or use hand to grip or lift or write. Nobody knows what's wrong with me and its driving me insane. Any advice to research would be great

Go and see a doctor, & don't be fobbed off with feeble excuses. Insist they do something about it, keep pushing them & don't take no for an answer.

Insist on a MRI. X-RAY

Good luck

Thank you. I've had MRI and nothing showed. Due to see neurologist next month but feel abnormal right now

Don't really know what else to suggest, sorry.

Hopefully you'll get an answer sooner rather than later. 👍

If your main complaint is numbness then I would think Neurology will be able to give you answers. Actually I'm surprised that wasn't the first thought, numbness suggests nerve involvement, maybe entrapment somewhere. The ulnar nerve being pinched (Cubital Tunnel Syndrome) is often the culprit where elbows are concerned, sometimes the neck too but these are only guesses of course. You've no numbness in your hand or fingers? If you do you may have trapped the median nerve (CTS or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome). If it's advanced it can travel into your elbow & even shoulder, as I experienced before CT release.

A few things for you to chew on!
