You have been experiencing twitching in your forefinger and thumb on your left hand for several weeks It is not painful but is very irritating What could be causing this to happen?
The twitching or tingling could be caused by carpal tunnel ,which is a ligament that runs from your arm down to the wrist and fingers . The tingling happens when the carpal tunnel causes pressure to the nerve which is also situated in the wrist called the median nerve. Usually carpal tunnel syndrome causes tingling and or numbness in the thumb , fore finger and middle finger. Also a burning sensation with the feeling that the fingers are swollen may occur . These symptoms usually get worse during the night and are caused by a number of reasons but mainly strain on the wrist such as in typing, cleaning , or any work which involves repetitive strain. The best thing i have found is wrist splints , these reduce the irritation and help keep the wrist from bending. You can obtain these from your doctor. Also your doctor will advise other ways to help such as hot wax treatments or physiotherapy .
