Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
I am Dr. Selmani and I read carefully your question.
I would like to know more information when you say doctors did CT scan, do you mean of the head or neck or both?.
My opinion is that when you had the fall back in 2010 you may have damaged the neck and that may have caused an herniated disc that compresses the nerves the go along the arms causing weakens of the arms and hands. This may be confirmed with a neck MRI or CT scan.If you have done a head CT scan and EEG that does not exclude the neck problem that may have been missed.
I suggest you to contact the orthopedic spine doctor to order an Neck MRI for you.
I wish you quick recovery.
