I know most people get strange muscle twitches every now and then. Usually mine come from using muscles I haven't used in a while, or being low on potassium. They normally only last a few hours, or at the most a day.
Well, I've had a muscle twitching in the back of my hand for months now. Apparently it's one of the muscles that control the middle finger (yeah, the bad one!
) It doesn't hurt or cramp up, it's just annoying. It can get strong enough to make the middle finger move which is a real pain at work if I'm trying to type or work the mouse. Even when it isn't that bad (moving my finger) I can still feel it which drives me crazy!
And, when I say months, I probably should say years because it's been happening on and off for the last 2 years, just not constant. I was just wondering if anyone has had a constant twitch like this and if you think it's serious. I haven't mentioned it to a doctor because I feel really silly saying "well, my finger is moving on it's own and it's just real annoying". I do work on the computer all day, then come home and get on here. I does get worse at the end of the day, but even on long weekends when I'm not at work it still doesn't stop.
I even had to take muscle relaxers for my back a few weeks ago, and it STILL did it. At that point, I didn't care and just fell asleep but it was still doing it the next day. Any ideas?
