thumb

Ok, firstly I hope everyone is a well as they can be and thank you for being welcoming. I'll start off with apologising because I feel as if I shouldn't really post on here but I'm driving myself crazy! I'm a 26 year old male, 6'5, 12 stone, and slim (Don't know if that even has relevance) But...

Hello everyone. First and foremost, I would like to say that I'm not here to waste anyone's time, so any input is greatly appreciated. A little bit about myself. I'm a 24 year old male, relatively healthy. Relatively because as of late my lifestyle has gotten a little bit too sedentary, and...

I browsed the forum for a little while today and want to say thanks to everyone who contributes to helping others out. My situation: I've been under a lot of stress lately and had been getting tension headaches over the past few weeks. I recently noticed a change in vision and went to the...

Warning, long story! 32 years old male, apparently,hopefully, in good health! November 2013 all of a sudden I had issues swallowing, felt like my throat was really small and had to chew forever in order not to choke. I went to an ENT and she said I had chronic tonsilitis and to take them out...

Hi, over the past week I've had some thumb twitches in both my hands I think... but mostly in my right. I've never had it before. I just looked it up and saw it is one of the symptoms of ALS, so I'm a bit worried about that. It occours 1-2 times a day, for a few seconds, right in my thumb joint...

Around 3 weeks ago, out of the blue, my left thumb started twitching a few times a day. After continuing to do so for about 3 days, the twitching became widespread across my entire body over the course of a few days – limbs, trunk, back, face etc I got referred to a neurologist who did a basic...

I have been undiagnosed for 8 yrs. I started having weakness in my left thumb and eventually got atrophy of median nerve. No other symptoms for all these years. About 8 mths ago I started having muscle weakness in the upper part of my arm. They have tested me for auto immune and all other...

I have a claw right hand. Thumb is going. Extensor is shot but flexor is still relatively reliable. Yet, every so often -- and ironically this started at least two years prior to any outward symptoms -- my brain and hand disconnect. So whatever, I'm holding just drops to the floor. No warning...

I had neck surgery in 2011 and when I work up from the surgery, my right hand and arm were greatly affected particularly my thumb. The motor function is gradually improving and I am being followed by a neurologist. I have been receiving physical therapy for over 3 months and I feel as if I am...
