I've had weak hands for years, can't put gas in the tank, have trouble with opening things.
And during bad times I would drop everything (sometimes I still do, without even realizing I'm about to drop something). I have to consciously hang onto things, not trust in my hands to remain gripped. However, I have little pain and x-rays done years ago before a cortisone shot in my wrist showed I have no arthritis. "Least arthritis in hands I have seen" said the doctor. I do not know what CTS is.
