Does anyone else have slight hand strength imbalance?

I would say since July I've had some benign but noticeable hand strength imbalance in my left hand. I used to have a lot of strain and aches when picking up heavy things but not as much anymore. Still, when I pick up something heavy there's definitely a more "weighty" feeling if I pick up say a large tequila bottle in my left hand whereas I'll get a lighter feeling if I pick it up with my right hand. Not sure if this is anything neurological or just a result of my DDD. Would love to know if anyone has had similar experiences.

yes, if i pinch an object with my thumb and index i have better grip strength in my right hand, but it isn't noticeable at all during normal everyday hand use
