All logical input! My twitching of my right hand fingers seems to have come about right around the same time as my shoulder impingement problem. Perhaps this is related.
I googled twitching finger tonight as the finger beside my pinky on my left hand..and my pinky were both twitching tonight...but also burning like nettle rash..there are no marks...was freaking myself out reading about the first signs of Parkinsons...l'm getting over illeostomy (stoma) surgery due to Crohns disease and l'm a survivor of stage 3 breast cancer...anything unusual happening in my body gives me sleepless nights.
Sorry to hear about the sleepless nights, Maggie. Yes, unusual symptoms can be troubling. Hope you get the absolute best care, and congratulations on all you've survived! Hang in there.
I've been having finger tremors that have gotten pretty bad in the last 2 years. I play the guitar quite frequently, however it never really seemed to be overpracticing since I have friends that practice a lot more. I also have noticed twitches on my limbs and neck area which is more recent and may not be related. I should probably go to a neurologist, anything in particular that I should point out to the doctor? Also what tests are taken during a diagnosis?
Please seek out a skilled doctor and tell him or her everything you have been noticing, and all your activities. The tests will depend on what the doctor needs to pursue. Your might want to see Dr. Markison's episode on guitar injuries: ua-cam.com/video/2LouxgSmPFg/v-deo.html Best wishes to you unraveling all this!
I often have my left little finger twitch for about 30 seconds sometimes in my leg or arm and on rare occasions my left eyebrow. It will go on for longer of I dont interrupt it by moving. My doctor did blood tests but said nothing was unusual and hasn't suggested to try anything else. I'm only 28 and do plenty of physical activity as a mechanic.
Dear C Reed, It's very perplexing to have the symptoms you described and not know why it's happening. Have you considered seeking a second opinion to get another perspective, or put your mind at ease that it's nothing to worry about? Best wishes to you.
@@DeborahQuilter I will at some point try to get another opinion. In the UK you are assigned a public doctor (GP) that is local to you and all referrals and prescriptions must go through them. Unless it's an emergency and then you go to hospital of course. The consequence of free health care is you get what your given and some will be unlucky. To add frustration I have private health insurance through my employment. However they said it only covers cost of treatment following a referral from my registered doc 🤷♂️.
It's not the first time I've heard that, C. Reed. Hardly seems fair, especially given some doctors catch things others don't. I have found that sometimes complementary treatments (acupuncture, Ayurveda, and others) can be helpful, though I feel it's good to find a trusted, good physician to rule out serious issues. Hope you get to the bottom of this -- and find the right treatment if needed. Best wishes.
I have psoriatic arthritis and I have been in the middle of a wicked flare up. Pain so bad I can barely walk. And now my right index finger has a mild tremor from time to time.
I have a tremor in my left index finger, particularly when I extend it. It starts shaking very violently. I read ET is 7x more likely than PD but I also read ET isn't unilateral and I don't drink coffee nor alcohol so I'm a bit worried. I first noticed it when I put my thumb over the alt button and index finger on the E button, my finger started shaking when I hovered over the E with my index finger. I suspected it could be RSI but wouldn't my finger shake whilst it was unextended as well if that was the case? Also wouldn't RSI hurt? This is painless so makes me question if it's RSI
One of the biggest misconceptions about RSI is that it's always painful. It isn't. I am not a doctor and can't answer your question, so please find a skillful doctor who can sort this out for you. Meantime, I highly recommend that you never use your thumb to strike a key. It puts the thumb in an awkward position and stresses the joint. When you are making a combination keystroke, it's better to use both hands and avoid using the thumb on the spacebar, and similarly, don't use the pinky on the outer keys. Best plan: dictate.
You're quite welcome! I wish the government would launch a truly useful Educational Campaign about Repetitive Strain Injury. I wrote a petition about this. I would love it if you could sign and share the petition with everyone you know! chng.it/9nCFgFMGt9 People can get devastating injuries - and then very often have a terrible time finding a doctor who knows how to diagnose and treat Repetitive Strain Injury.
If you develop a RSI finger tremor from playing piano, and stop playing piano, can it actually go away? And how long might the tremor take to subside? Where does the nerve entrapment occur? Can RSI present as JUST tremor and no other symptoms (pain, nerve buzziness and/or heat sensation, etc)?
Hello, Lying with Statistics, you need to speak to your doctor about why this is happening. But RSI can present very differently for people: some people don't have any pain, for instance. And while you said you got RSI from playing the piano, remember that that's not the only thing you do with your hands. Perhaps you use the computer? Or perform other repetitive activities on a daily basis? All of these can contribute to cumulative trauma disorder. Best wishes to you.
Please don't use your thumbs at any keyboard. It's a very dangerous thing to do. And playing games combines repetitive movement, speed and awkward positioning, three top risk factors for Repetitive Strain Injury. See your doctor for a diagnosis and meantime stop all offending activities. Best wishes.
My hands.legs shake.legs longer im on them.they also go red. My neck colar turns red too.my Dr refused too send me too Neurologist.my face twitches too.head gets numb.behind my ears.my upper bsck is very sore.
My left middle finger began twitching, in a spqsm like way, anout a month ago, seems to be more lately. 15 - 20 times a day. Im thinking (hoping!) Its from my workouts with weights and pushups that may have caused a repetive strain injury. Its quite alarming waiting to see if it will go away! Possibly cconn3cted, my index finger next to it hurts quite painfully if I spread it or push it down. Middle finger that twitches has no pain at all.
Hello Jerry, I'm sorry about all the problems. It sounds like you need to see a physician who is knowledgeable in this area. Meantime, remember that the hands are not weight-bearing joints and push-ups are not a great idea. Here's why: ua-cam.com/video/KtaUV614ees/v-deo.html
Thank you for your reply! You know I never even considered the fact that hands are put under such strain doing push ups and weights. I always thought about the tendons in my shoulders which hurt from time to time. Hopefully my current condition will resolve and I will change the way I workout. Thank you so much and now I am a subscriber as well!
I came here to figure out why my fingers twitch side to side, jumping nerves in my eyes, my chest, my feet, my toes, my legs, and neck. I'm pretty sure it's lack of sleep.
@@Senza_1 My neurologist believes it was caused by the flu vackzine that I took in January, before the Covid vackzine came out. I was in the office a half hour longer because I take turmeric, and it caused bleeding. But it wasn’t a trickle. The neuro believes she hit blood. I have it especially in my right eye/cheek and it’s worsening to my left. Finger twitching hasn’t worsened…still the same. Still get twitching in my feet, but I’m flat footed. Still, it could’ve been the jab. I have always got foot cramps, but not twitching like I feel. Also feel patches of pins and needles in my legs; especially thighs. But I am able to get around. It’s just super distracting.
Dear Ez Ganks, See a doctor about this. Also see this video on why I don't use a mouse, ua-cam.com/video/36STr-6ipX8/v-deo.html. Mousing can lead to so many problems. Good luck to you!
My index finger was sore for a couple months from an over enthusiastic student of modern arnis finger locks. It was starting to get better and the bump was almost gone then I went and jammed it while sparring in karate. :( It has been twitching a bit when I have it slightly bent.
I was driving and noticed it … my right hand pinky finger index finger and thumb were twitching. Coincidentally…. and not joking here … I saw a Krispy Kreme donut 🍩 store and pulled in and had two donuts …. Then I noticed surprisingly the shakes were gone. I think it might be sugar/glucose (hypoglycemia) related.
So sorry to hear this, Richard. I am not a doctor, so I cannot advise you, but I do hope you will see someone who can properly diagnose your condition. Let me know how it goes.
I have weakness stiffness in hands fingers they seem to get worse as the day goes on and in use but when I get go to bed it seems to loosen up and feel ok I can’t grip sometimes with my fingers .. I wake up with tight fingers but over the past seven weeks I have been suffering from severe stress through worry wich all my tention seemed to go to my hands I use to constant use phone or bite my nails 24/7 .. I have had all tests done my doctor think I might have osteoarthritis in hands so going for X-ray next week .. but if it’s only triggers when I use them o guess it could be rsi but my gp says over use can trigger osteoarthritis of and it’s in my family xx
Sometimes this is a sign of massage releasing chronic tension, but it's also possible that improper massage may irritate a nerve. If it doesn't go away, please see a physician for diagnosis.
