Index finger fasciculations

Common Questions and Answers about Index finger fasciculations

finger

Avatar n tn I have been having some recent symptoms lately that slightly relate to the symptoms of ALS. First, I have been having some weakness in my right hand, specifically in my index finger and thumb. Second, I have been having fasciculations in my left hand for about a month or so, in all of the fingers at this point. I noticed this week that my right hand is also having fasciculations now, only in the thumb. Does this sound like ALS? What else can I look for?
Avatar f tn I am a 46 yo female. I was diagnosed with cervical spondylitic myelopathy. I have multiple levels of ddd cervical and lumbar. Have positive babinski, Hoffmann, clonus bilateral feet and I'm off balance. Have four bad discs in neck and two lower back. C5-6 herniation is more on left and pushing into spinal cord. Recently I have been having constants fasiculations in my left hand between thumb and index finger. Going on for five days and can't sleep.
1468406 tn?1286489142 It pretty much goes away when I am not flaring up, but each flare brings it on stronger, and this time around it is including my middle finger, and occasionally my index finger and thumb. The tremor is NOT there when my hand is relaxed (for example, hanging at my side or with the fingers curled). However when I stretch my hand out/straighten my fingers, they start jumping around wildly. It is like they have a mind of there own.
Avatar n tn For several months now, at random times (but a few times a day), the index finger on my left hand will twitch for about a minute and then stop. It is not painful, and I wouldn't bother to bring it up, except that recently it has been accompanied by a couple of other involuntary muscle movements: for about a month the top of the bridge of my nose would twitch in a similar way, and now the muscles around my left knee tighten up in a similar fashion.
Avatar m tn anyway about 10 days later I began having fasciulations in my left hand causing my index finger to twitch siedways THis lasted about 3 days than I had a spasm of my right trapezius which and than my right hand began twitching as well...Both hands and occasionally a leg would twich regularly for about 2 weeks.. All the while that old diffuse Nerve pain was worxde than ever in the effected limbs, as was my neck and upper back pain..
378497 tn?1232143585 s just fired up down the ulnar nerve of my left hand, making my hand and pinkie finger twitch/spasm. It actually kind of ripples across the palmar surface and then makes my pinkie twitch. Woke me up this morning and has been going on all day. I can just sit and watch it happen. I thought I had read that you don't get these things with MS. But then again...it takes me several seconds to summon the word "anesthesia" these days...
Avatar m tn ) About three weeks ago, in conjunction with an emerging cold, I noticed a burning sensation in the back of my hand, and on the inside of my elbow, roughly, culminating in index finger nerve pain and stiffness. I also felt a strange sensation in my upper left thigh, which, if pressed or pushed, could radiate a little zap into my big toe. However, I had no trouble walking. The hand sensation only lasted for a couple of hours.

I also felt a strange sensation in my upper left thigh, which, if pressed or pushed, could radiate a little zap into my big toe. However, I had no trouble walking. The thigh sensation felt like a sort of pressure, or a feeling of having been used.
1184460 tn?1273986230 Later that day I noticed that my index finger on the same side had started jumping as well. The twitching does not happen when my hands are busy, but when my hands are just resting, my thumb and index finger jump back and forth. I thought it was maybe a sign of low vitamin levels. I began taking daily multi vitamins but the twitches have remained. I'm eating healthy and getting plenty of sleep, but the twitches are just as strong as ever.
Avatar n tn On my left hand, my index finger is longer than my middle finger, my ring finger is shorter than my middle finger. On my left had, my middle finger is shorter than both other fingers (ring & middle). It's nver caused any problems but I've always wondered why my Mom & I had it.
Avatar m tn I am 23 year old female and have enchondroma on my left hand index finger. Should i get it operated? What diffrence will i feel after it has been operated.
Avatar n tn my index finger is geting swollen in the middle and it stings when bend it what can be the cause of it
Avatar n tn My right index finger has been swollen for a month now. the knuckle is painful to the touch, but i'm able to bend it. Any ideas what it could be?? Thanks for any help!
Avatar m tn I took a puck off of my right index finger and didn't really notice any immediate pain. Over the next couple days I noticed that I couldn't form a fist because my finger was very swollen and hurt to bend that far. Upon further observation I noticed that my first finger knuckle had become very wide, but the rest of my finger remained regular size. It is also very sensitive to touch.
1336836 tn?1275740921 What could cause my index finger to be numb and tingle when touching the joint of the finger?
Avatar n tn Back in March I was holding a little girl that was standing on my lap and she lost her balance and squatted down. My hand was behind her knee and my right index finger popped and then hurt really bad for awhile. I assumed it would go away and it didn't. A few days later I went to urgent care. They took x-rays and saw nothing and told me to take ibuprofen and continue to use it like normal.
Avatar f tn I am a 56 years old female and in relatively good health. I take one medication for hbp. Recently the middle joints of my little fingers are very tender, red and tend to be very itchy, if that makes any sense and I've also begun noticing some tiny red nodules at the first joint of my index fingers and little fingers. Some times the nodules are a little more pronouced than other times.
Avatar f tn Ihave been on and off again having tingling and numbness of hands and feet. My left middle finger feels stiff, but I can still move it. I am scared that it'll stop working and that I have ALS. The finger also has pain as well when I flex it. I am wondering how long can a person have fasciculations before it progresses to weakness. Can a person having trigger finger be a symptoms of ALS? Can a person have weakness without atrophy?
Avatar f tn After the voting I realized that my index finger has the lilltle thingy ( like skin peel off ur index finger and present a small cut). Because my finger already cover with the ink I cannot see clearly if the cut already formed the scab to protect the open and m not sure when did I get that.
Avatar m tn I had surgery the following day and had 2 pins inserted into my index finger. I had those pins in my index finger for 4 weeks (just had them removed on 1/10/11). I haven't been able to move that index finger for 4 weeks since the pins were still in there, as any movement in that finger caused extreme pain...but now my index finger seems to be stuck in that same position (slightly curved, as if holding a cup).
Avatar m tn My index finger has chronic pain when it is exposed to cold temps. or if my circulation is lessened in that arm. It's just that finger and only at the finger nail, cuticle area. The feeling is similar to getting it smashed into something. Also, when no pain is present, if I hit it ever so slightly on something, it might as well have been smashed in a door, the feeling would be the same!
Avatar n tn There is a condition called Benign Fasciculations, in which spontaneous fasciculations occur and some people may have a widespread or relatively focal presence of fasciculations accompanied by cramps. On long term studies of these patients, it is found that this is a truly benign condition and does not confer a risk for motor neuron disease.
Avatar m tn i have a orange brown rust color spot on the inside tip of my index finger on my right hand just notice it this morning and wont wash off
1744581 tn?1311302411 I cut the knuckle of my R index finger on a deli/meat slicer 2 days ago, The ER dr said I had a layer of fat over the muscle left over the bone & that was it. I got 12 stitches. The dr didn't think I cut the tendon b/c I could move my index finger although I had a lot of pain. He diagnosed it as a AVULSION INJURY.
Avatar n tn During foreplay with my partner, I used my middle finger to stimulate my partner but am worried that with my index finger in close proximity to the vagina, a pregnancy is possible? If a finger that came into contact (actually touched vs grazed) with the wet spot on my jeans cause a pregnancy after stimulating my partner?
