My fingers on one hand are twitching.?

Question

Is muscle twitching/cramping of one hand most likely just a temporary thing? When I don't try to move it, my middle finger twitches. I don't have other symptoms and am not medicated. Thanks.

Answer 1

There's really a lot of possible causes for that condition, as I was searching the web for that condition, I was overwhelmed by the great number of results. What's the best solution? Go see a doctor. He's really the only one who can tell you what it is.

Answer 2

Generally a muscle contracts when it is used, then stretches out when the motion is completed or when another muscle moves in the opposite direction. But if a muscle contracts with great intensity with no stretching out again, you feel the pain of a muscle cramp. Night-time cramps, as you have found, generally affect the legs, especially calves and feet. They take place more often in older adults. Children might experience a cramp muscle and leg pain that some people call growing pains. Cold and physical overexertion can cause cramp, but evenly inaction sitting, standing or lying in the same position for a long time may be the problem.



The exercise was posted in records by someone who had had problems with her little finger for years, and then at university or college was given that exercise and the little finger problem disappeared. It's hard to describe the exercise. You put a finger on your other hand then you push down and release the first joint. You will find if you watch your bare arm, that you'll see movement all down the inside of your forearm. I was able to do the movement right off the bat with my first finger, the middle was a bit iffier, and the ring finger couldn't do it without some help.


Muscle cramp and spasm are a bothersome condition that involves a sudden, involuntary contraction and tightening of a muscle that will not immediately relax. Muscle cramps and spasms can grip part or all of a muscle, or a number of muscles within a muscle group and even though a spasm or cramp can occur in just about any muscle. The most familiar muscle groups affected are, the lower leg and calf muscles, the upper leg, including the hamstrings and quadriceps, the feet and hands. Muscle cramps and spasms can variety in intensity from a slight twitch to severe, agonizing contractions.

Twitching and cramping in this instance is not a serious condition. It's a temporary thing, relieved by exercise or resting or providing hand support. Try keeping your hand warm.

Answer 3

it depends. You might have a nerve problem in your neck or at the elbow or in your wrist. If it gets worse then it may be a symptom of a condition such as Parkinson's disease. If you have diabetes etc than that needs to be considered too.

Answer 4

Yes these sound like simple muscle spasms. These can occur for a variety of reasons or simple can be unexplained. These should go away. If they do not though or they become painful you should talk to your doctor.

Answer 5

It sounds to me like a focal seizure(minor motor). I suffer from every type of seizure. Go ahead and move it, it might stop it. If it does not stop, lay down and get some sleep. If then it still wont stop, go see a neurologist.
