I think that is a sign of carpal tunnel. you may have been resting your wrist in a position that caused the nerve to be cut off...the weakness. Try using a brace for part of the day...it may help, or at night.
if you want to get an idea if you have it....take your elbows and rest then on a table or arm rest of chair, then let your hands fall to a 90 degree angle (so you look silly :-) )and count to 60. Tell me how your wrists and fingers feel after and Dr rain will give you your diagnosis.
:-) Im serious BTW
