Hands Getting Weak, Pain In Forearm And Upper Arm, Feels Like Bruise

My hands seem to be getting weaker every day. At first I just drop pills. Now it's full drinking glasses and this afternoon I dropped and broke my I-pad. Just in the last couple weeks my hand, forearm and upper arm are hurting. It doesn't hurt like a sore muscle when I touch it. It feel more like a bruise should be in the place I just touched, but it isn't.

HI,
your symptoms suggest a problem in cervical spine.The spondelitis does produce the weakness in muscles due to pressure on nerves supplying the region.
& also hypersensitivity of the part.
please get Xray cervical spine done & visit an Orthopedic doctor for further treatment.
Apart from pain relivents,vitamin B12 is usually given to such patients.
Specific exercises for cervical spine play a major role in management.
