Hi Karen, I don't know if it will help you, but I too lost the feeling and strength in my right hand. It began with my pinky finger and continued to the other fingers. Most of my cervical vertebra are self fusing, so I thought I might need cervical surgery to correct the problem. But as usual, my diagnosis was wrong. I was referred to a doctor who had me wear a plastic splint on my right arm while I sleep to keep my arm straight. Feeling and strength came back to my right hand in a few days. My problem was, I bent my right elbow while I slept, and that somehow damaged the ulnar nerve. I no longer use the splint, I just try to get in a position to keep my right arm straight as I sleep. So far that working for me.
