I am suffering from writer's cramp for last 2 years. I cannot write with right hand. Suggest remedies.?

Answer 1

hey this question has a simple solution. for years i thought i had the same problem as you and when the pain became to much. i went to my doctor and actually found out it was a form of neuropathy and carpol tunnel. so if i was you i would go to the doc and have a series of tests ran on your hands to determine what the problem is.

Answer 2

Eczema on the hand will improve if you wear rubber gloves over white cotton gloves when in contact with any irritants such as dish water. Dry your hands thoroughly after washing them, and apply an unscented hand cream several time a day. If you avoid whatever is causing contact dermatitis, the condition should disappear within a few weeks. You may speed up the process by using a steroid cream that contains 0.5 per cent hydrocortisone. Such creams are available without prescription.

Answer 3

see an orthopaedic or hand surgeon in your city. this could be a pressure on the median nerve which is a nerve controlling movements and sensations in 3 &1/2 fingers ie the thumb, index ,middle and 1/2 of the ring finger as it passes into the hand from the wrist. the doctor will check you, may ask for some tests like e.m.g. and nerve conduction studies, blood reports like vitamin b12 levels. treatment would depend on the extent of nerve compression and varies between a splint to relax the wrist, physiotherapy, injection of a steroid into the space around the nerve in the wrist area and in some cases a simple day care surgery of dividing the tight band around the median nerve. recovery is very quick and complete. also go in for ergonomically designed mouse pads and keyboards if you work a lot on a computer. all the best.

Answer 4

Muscles can have knots (trigger points) that make them tight which in turn put pressure on nerves and other things.
Molasses - a couple of swigs or Bananas 1 or 2 - both contain magnesium and potassium for muscles.
Try working with the principles taught in The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.
I use a chiropractor and massage therapist with it

Answer 5

This could be because of muscle fatigue. Try exercising all parts of your body and some special exercises for your hands to strengthen the muscles there. Try out some home remedies. You can also look for information in the web that give you home remedies. I found this website very useful. http://aches.in/cramps.html

Answer 6

Consume lots of ginger, garlic, onions well cooked with other food on a daily basis for at least a month. Cramps should then not bother you.

Answer 7

Hi I type a lot in my job which has helped with that cramping in my hand.

As well, I find sitting in a dry sauna helps the hand too. Or go get a parrafin treatment at a spa, they soak your hands in wax & then wrap them in plastic--it totally helps with wrist, muscle pain.

How about a doctor? Do you really know it's "writer's cramp?"

Cases of Writers Cramp


43 year old male, Mr. K. R. (Patient reference number L6812) reported to the clinic for complaints of difficulty in writing since last 19 years. He would not be able to hold things properly with his right hand and he would often drop things such as cups, plates, etc while handling them. He said that he would develop weakness in the right hand when he would hold the things with this hand. He also lacked proper grip in his right hand and he would develop tremors in the right arm when holding things. He had also become slow in writing and would have to write at a very slow speed in order for the writing to be legible. His handwriting had also changed over the last many years and he would often face problems in transactions with the bank due to changes in his signature. He would get very anxious when he would be told to write and his writing would become worse out of anxiety if someone would be watching him while he was writing. He would face more problems when writing finely and would be more comfortable in writing in capital letters. He had been diagnosed as having Writer’s cramp and had not received any medication for this complaint.

He was a vegetarian with a normal appetite and liking for sweets and fried food. He was averse to spicy food and he had excessive thirst for water. His sweating would be scanty but it had an offensive odour to it. He was sensitive to cold climate in general and would be more comfortable in little warmer climate. His sleep would be sound with dreams of daily events.

He stayed with his wife and 2 sons. He was working as a mechanical inspector in a company. He described his nature as irritable and he would get angry if things would not function well. At such times he would shout at the concerned person and finish off the matter then and there. He said that initially he was very anxious when he had been diagnosed with this illness but gradually he had become more confident in handling things. He had aversion to crowded places and was also averse to noise in general. He was very particular about various things in general such as his work, things at home, children’s work, etc.

There was no history of any major illness in his past. Amongst his family members, his father had Diabetes, Hypertension and Cerebro-vascular accident (CVA). His sister was asthmatic.

Based on the above history he was prescribed Causticum 200 along with another remedy that has been developed at Lifeforce for the treatment of Writer’s cramp and other conditions with similar pathology. Gradually he started noticing improvement in this writing over a period of time. The pain that he would get in his arm after writing for a few minutes slowly reduced considerably. The tremors of his right hand reduced and he would no longer awkwardly drop things from his hand anymore. He started feeling more comfortable in writing now and his handwriting also improved to some extent. His anxiety level also came down and he would not get as tensed as before when he was told to write. Overall he improved significantly with Homeopathic medicines and the progress of this condition was definitely stopped.

Remark: The remedy prescribed in these cases is patient-specific i.e. it has been prescribed based on the symptoms specific to the patient at that point of time. It is advisable that the patient does not indulge in any self-medication

Answer 10

Acupuncture is the only reliable treatment. If he is master no problem but if quack ask him to give St32 point.
