Title: twitching thumb
Post by: iketchum on October 02, 2009, 04:48:03 PM

My thumb has started twitching and I can not stop it. It is on the arm with my fistula. Has anyone else have this going on?

Yep.  Mine twitches, and sometimes the arm locks.  I see a chiropractor,and stretch and workout that arm to get it to stop. It has to do with irritation of nerves due to holding it in a funny position for several hours for me.

I have the same issue with my fingers.. sometimes they will twitch or cramp up and lock in place.. quite annoying
