twitching in hand

[Miss.B]

Hi hun, yes, I've had some weird twitching in my fingers over the last few months, but I'm too scared to see my doc, I've convinced myself it's early stages of the parkinson disease. I usually self diagnose myself, and then worry myself silly without getting professianal opinion I'm pretty sure it's nothing to worry about....

It might be something to do with your computer, ie typing every day. I work in the office and I'm typing a lot of the time, so maybe it's the strain from that???????

im glad im not the only one then!! dr also suggested maybe getting some nerve studies done, will see if the bloodtest reveil anything

[Miss.B]

GL sweetie, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about! I also thought I was the only one with those twitches as my friend was telling me it's all in my head lol. After all, I do come up with a new medical condition every other week, so she just ignores me most of the time ha ha

i was thinking it was all in my head initially as well but soon realised it wasnt! i'll let you know how i go, will be a week or so as im on ab's so cant have the bloodtest done yet

[Miss.B]

Cool, keep me posted hun! I haven't had it for a few weeks, but every time I get it I show it to my DF and of course he can't see it twitching (but I can feel it) so he says it's a cramp. Men, they have an explanation for everything !

When i had my horse riding accident, i had a compound fracture and with that i had some nerve damage in my arm and sometimes my fingers wont work and they twitch especially when i try and write. It can be embarassing because it does it randomly and so my writing goes from neat to what the hell is going on!!!! and oh my god the pain is unbearable sometimes. But i have a plate in my arm so im thinking its that.

There are some 'benign' conditions that cause twitches. I know one is called essential tremor. It is different to Parkinson's, but can present similarly at the start.

If your dr doesn't find anything, and it gets worse or you are still concerned ask to see a neurologist. But if the actual twitching doesn't worry you too much, i wouldn't stress too much about what it could be.

take care
