About 8yrs ago, I was loosing feeling in that same area, finding it hard to pick up and hold things. The feeling you're having is from more than likely cubit tunnel pinched ural nerve in the elbow. It's an outpatient surgery around 3hrs. Mine came out just about normal. Still have a bit of numbness in the tips of my fingers but I have full range of use. Before my L-hand looked like a crows foot holding a wire. It took about 3-4months with rehab, but it was worth it. Go see your doctor for a hand surgeon referral. Good luck! Clag
