Not a stroke but radial nerve damage, and I wore a splint on my left hand for a couple of months. By May of 2013, I had regained near full use of my hand.
Fast forward to May/June 2014 and I'm having problems with that radial nerve again. My left hand has no strength again, and it wants to close up. I finish my physical therapy this week, and I will see my neurologist next week. The PT has helped, but not cured the problem. I don't have a clue what my neurologist is going to recommend.

I woke up this way and thought I had a stroke too. About 5 years ago I lost use of my arm and hand so I figured it was the same median nerve problem. Back then I went to a chiropractor and within a month I was back to normal. My chiropractor is not confident he can help me with the Radial nerve.
I've been wearing a cock up brace and a sling since last Sunday. No improvement, but it has not got worse either.
Are you in TV and if so who are you using for PT and neurologist? I see you have lived in Tampa so if you have good doctor's there traveling would not be a problem for me. Please keep me posted of what your doctor recommends. Perhaps, we will be having surgery together, lol.
Good luck to you and I hope you can get this resolved without surgery.
