Since numbness and clumbsiness in the hands are symptoms of MS, is it possible that someone who experiences these symptoms could lose complete motor functions in their hands?
Has it happened before? Any links with specific info?

I had extreme numbness in hands and feet. I had Raynauds Syndrome. I would drop things and not be able to handle the steering wheel of my car. In remission. No sign of ANA problems at this time.

I believe your answer is yes, but I don't know where I know that from. I have read so much this year on MS. Check with National Multiple Sclerosis Society or the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation for starters,
Are you an MSer?

I am a newly diagnosed MS patient (April 12, 2007) and I still have not gained full pain free use of my left hand. I also wonder when this will return. Are taking any of the injections?

loss of use of the hands may be due to multiple reasons
-cerebellar ataxia causing a tremor and clumsiness
-sensory loss to pain, temperature or proprioception
-Weakness may be involve one limb or both. Diplegia, paraplegia or quadriplegia. There may also be atrophy of the limbs and nerve compression. Carpal tunnel is also common
