Suggest Treatment For Involuntary Finger Movements
Hello,
Ok I am 26 years old and I've been dealing with this my whole life. My fingers move at the same exact time and I can't control it. When I was little my pediatrican told my mom that I would grow out it my fingers and hand would fuction normally. Well Many years later and I still have this problem and it drives me crazy. Im trying to learn piano and can't because of my fingers. They cramp up all the time and the ache constantly. A little history to what I think happened. When I was 2 years of age my mother rushed me to the hospital because I was convulsing. The doctor diagnosed it as a seizure. I did some research and I think it was actually am infant stroke, and that in turn has caused my disfunction. Please help!!!!

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM.
It is a very peculiar story, that is worth more investigating, the frustration that you get from your fingers cramping is very understood. I would suggest a visit to a neurological center where you can role out any brain structural abnormalities by doing a MRI as a start up for your differential diagnosis workup.
Ever tried moving your fingers while not focusing on moving them would they move separately or still they will move together? try doing so while biting on something this could help trick your brain.
Nevertheless if this is troubling your daily life routine proper diagnosis is needed.
hope that helped.
