I have had a problem with gripping and holding things in my left hand since the accident that set of the CRPS in that hand and arm. I am fine with things like typing, my WPM isn't any less than it used to be although I do get pain with some specific motions while I type. I also don't have problems holding light things like silverware or my phone, or doing things like texting. Where I do have problems is anything that requires the least bit of strength. Holding a can opener closed while I turn it with my right hand. Holding a jar so I can twist the lid off. Holding a cup that's full, or if I'm using a glass instead of plastic I even have trouble grasping and holding a glass with my left hand. It is extremely frustrating since I know I so far still have complete range of motion, just a lack of strength and a seeming lack of control at times.
