the fingers curl over at night sounds almost like hand clawing - something that can happen with thoracic outlet syndrome {TOS} or some of the other conditions that affect the larger nerves.

I would get the dr onto this and possibly have more testing, like EMG as mentioned.
Don't accept it as part your current diagnosis until the testing proves if it is or isn't.
It may be something new and treatable, and best treated before too much time has passed.
Can TOS affect both arms,, I wore gloves to bed last night,, I slept without pain but the moment I took them off,, both hands were painfull and even this laptop buzzing causes my hands to hurt,, its like they have a mind of there own,,, actually its hurts all the way up the arms,, putting gloves on is even painfull
