Default Issues with hands/arms - Numbness and loss of use

I wake up almost every morning and my arms and hands are completely numb, but it hurts, if that makes sense. It is both arms and it covers all fingers, I know my doctor has mentioned that if it isn't my pinky then it is most likely carpal tunnel (which I have had while pregnant, before TBI). This is both hands, I know that I often sleep with them in a fist as they are cold.

I have also started to notice that more often I am dropping things without any control, especially if I am tired or having trouble functioning (ie. should be resting but life won't allow it at that time, kids need to eat, etc.)

The Dr at the brain clinic told me it was likely a neurological issue but left it at that. I asked my neurosurgeon but he brushed it off.
