Index finger tremor

Common Questions and Answers about Index finger tremor

Avatar m tn For example, parkinsonism, such as what you are asking, has a resting tremor that is termed “pill-rolling” tremor. The tremor is typically one sided initially. Other types of tremors include essential tremor (which is a tremor with many different postures/actions), orthostatic tremor, enhance physiologic tremor, etc. Everyone has a tremor but for most, it is not noticeable unless there is stress, caffeine, anxiety. This is the enhanced physiological tremor.
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 Recently the base of my thumb started hurting in the joint accompanied with some index and middle finger tremor/twitching. Finally it became annoying enough I went to my orthopedic surgeon. The thumb base was very sore. He said I had arthritis in the joint but wasn't sure what was causing the tremor. I have to preface this; a few months prior to this I would wake up and that hand would be completely numb. However, it is not doing this currently.
Avatar n tn A couple of times now, as I lie in bed (but before I fall to sleep), my thumb and index finger will rub together very quickly two or three times. It only happens once or twice. It has not happened at other times of the day or night. My question is whether this sounds like a Parkinson's pill rolling tremor, and whether Parkinson's is likely or whether it could be benign.
Avatar m tn t think much of it until a month later when the pain become more severe, sometimes when moving my index or middle finger on my right hand I would get a shock run up my finger and arm and my index finger would go numb for a few minutes and my hands seemed to be losing grip strength. I had this feeling occur once in my left hand as well.
Avatar n tn Your finger sounds exactly like what happened to my boyfriends muscle between his thumb and index finger. The muscle looks like it's gone. It was his aldner? nerve and he had surgery and it's fine now. It's basically muscle atrophy. He couldn't use his fingers to write or even put his hand in his pocket. I would suggest you have this checked out.
Avatar f tn About three weeks ago I noticed that my ring finger, middle finger and my index finger were somewhat difficult to move. I noticed that those fingers would not spread apart like the fingers of on my other hand and when those three fingers were spread as far as i could get them they would not move at all towards the direction right. Within about a week of that I realized my hand no loner was straight and sunk downward in the middle on the backside of my hand.
495035 tn?1221753092 Today I have a new sympton, middle finger tremor not any of the other fingers, how strange is that? ...and woke up with very bad headache yet again :( have taken the tablets today so hopefully it will go soon. I have been reading alot of the posts again on ms symptons which has left me wondering yet again! I dont seem to get the remissions from everything, it seems to be continuous symtons for me. any thoughts on this ?
11371651 tn?1417628832 All this for me started Oct 1st, it first started with a twitching (not tremor) right index finger, which stop after a couple of days but then my right hand started to become tight and painful, sometimes it was as if I could feel the nerve in my right ring finger (rubber band feeling), that spread into my forearm which begun to hurt, eventually my bicep, and then my upper arm and finally my shoulder and into the right side of my neck started to feel tight and painful.
Avatar n tn ve been thinking I have some sort of nerve damage and possibly anxiety related issues. Lately my index finger has began to twitch or tremor (not sure of the right term) it will move in a left and right direction for a period of time. It also seems to occasionally move forwards as well but rarely. 90% of the time this occurs when I'm sitting at my computer desk. I admit I have always had terrible posture in general.
Avatar f tn Could it be something I am breathing? My left thumb twitches and pulsates in the part between my thumb and index finger. I have had an EMG (over a year ago) which came back that I had an overactive nerve or muscle I can’t remember which it was on my left side. Nerve conduction studies came back normal. EEG came back normal. I would love to figure out what could be causing it. I do not believe it is stress related.
Avatar m tn You can actually see the movement occurring between my thumb and index finger. At times, my right bottom eye lid also tremors. My thumb tremor never stops, it's 24/7. I have seen two neurologists. One diagnosed me with continuous partial epilepsy and the other said stress/anxiety. I have had one MRI with contract, evoked potentials and a nerve test (cannot remember the name) all were normal. I am otherwise healthy. My eyes sometimes bother me, but I think it has do with my sinuses.
444922 tn?1205098764 I appreciate your help. Today my pinky fingers on both hands are what's really noticable unless i'm typing then my right hand index finger jerks. My tremors would be probably faster than 4hz if i understand what that means. I've used frequency generators before and watched a speaker move at different frequencies so i'd say my tremor is between 10-20 hz.
211940 tn?1267881266 I get tremors in my individual fingers too. Mine are typically in my right index finger, and I've also seen it in my ring finger. Sometimes they're stronger than other times. Other times I'll be holding a tissue or a piece of paper and the paper will have tiny little vibrations on it. Then I look and see that I guess I have tiny tremors in my fingers when I'm holding things. ????

Avatar f tn Strained neck doing straight arm lat pulldown 10-10-07. MRI shows bulging disc at C 5-6. Neurosurgeon says disc is not causing my symptoms. Neurologist did manual muscle testing and diagnosed me with cervical radiculopathy. Manual physical therapy and cranial sacral therapy have not relieved symptoms. Inital symptoms included...
Avatar m tn However, recently, I have developed considerably greater tremors, particularly in the thumb and index finger of my right hand and even more so in the thumb, pinky, and index finger of my left hand. Usually at rest nothing twitches, but under contraction or when trying to execute a movement or task, the twitching/tremors often become extreme. I also feel tight and maybe tingly on the top of my forearms and a sort of almost bony ache in the fingers of each hand. Anyway have ideas?
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.
Avatar m tn Close ears with thumb, index finger on forehead, and rest three fingers on base of nose touching eyes. Breathe in through nose. And now breathe out through nose while humming like a bee.
