Hello all, firstly I don’t wish to offend anybody on this forum and please delete this thread if not allowed.
I am 27, male, in good general health.
For the past 6-8 weeks I have had a twitch in my left hand pinky when at rest. I don’t know what exact muscle is twitching but it makes my pinky move towards my ring finger. On some days it is worse and throughout the day it comes and goes. As far as I can tell, I have no weakness. I have had various twitches in the past but none lasting as long as this. I made the huge mistake of Googling and you know the rest.
I have not been worried or stressed about anything lately (apart from this) and my diet has not changed. The only thing is I have been using my phone more (always left hand with phone resting on pinky); could that be causing it?
My question is, does this warrant further examination from my doctor? Should I be asking for a referral to the neurologist?
Thank you for your time.
