    Strange finger sensation, cramp

    Hi Laurie, I had bloodwork done a few weeks back and they checked for about 20 different things, all came back normal including CK and electrolytes. The only anomaly was a slightly low level of parathyroid hormone but this could have been related to the calcium issue I had recently (calcium...

    Strange finger sensation, cramp

    Hi Laurie, I think I need to work on my terminology slightly better. When I said cramp I meant muscle twitching, it is painless and I can’t feel it, I can just see it under my skin constantly. I believe the muscle this twitching is in is called the Hypothenar. The little finger seems to be...

    Strange finger sensation, cramp

    Thank you for your response. Basically I panicked when I started seeing visible cramping without pain down the side of my hand which seems to react when I move the fingers. It is seemingly non-stop at the moment regardless of how I hold my hand. I can still write but it is difficult and the...

    Strange finger sensation, cramp

    Thank you so much for your response. I have full range of movement in both fingers, but I am struggling to hold a knife while eating. It is as if my dexterity has been affected rather than range of movement, I’m not sure if that makes any sense as it is quite hard to describe. I have a blood...

    Strange finger sensation, cramp

    Dear all, Firstly, may I say how much I appreciate you taking your time to read this post and provide your feedback. A month ago I had twiches under my eye which subsided in 3-4 days but left me with some strange feeling on the right side of my face, not painful, just not feeling like the left...
