My hands are acting strange


[do...]

Recommended Posts

New symptom. My hands have started acting strange. It feels like I can't hold anything well and I might drop things. My ring finger on both hands as well as my pinky on the right keep catching at the top joint. It bends only at the top joint and it catches until I pull it back up. Sometimes it feels like my fingers are pulling to a side like it wants to go over another finger. This is so weird and somewhat worrisome. Anyone else?

Donna,

 

I have the same symptom intermittently. Sometimes I get it more on one side of the body than the other... I was very worried at first; now I just let it come and go. It makes sense to me that it's probably just another annoying withdrawal niggle. I trust that it's my brain's way of rewiring somehow.

 

Hope this helps a bit.

I am finding it so hard to believe benzos can cause so much havoc. I hope I recover. I will be the spokesperson for just say no, no to benzos.

I had this very bad early in withdrawal. One of my pinky fingers was stuck for a while.

 

 

Do gentle hand / arm stretches and gently massage your hands, it will get better!

I have it in my right ring and pinkie. I find not leaning my elbows on the table helps. I do that a lot on the computer. It irritates the elbow nerve... for the life of me my benzo brain can't remember what it's called.. and that affects the fingers.

Hey,

 

Ive had horrible nerve issues, specially on the left side of my body. I  affected my left hand so severely that I kept losing its strength and dropped things. Sometimes it was weak, sometimes awfully painful, most of the time horribly numb.

 

I thought it was anything from a problem in my brain, to MS, to a pinched nerve, to neuritis.

 

I kept track of all my medical exams and results in this post: http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=176837.0

 

I have seen some improvement 4 months after this awful symptoms started. Amazingly, I have seen the most improvement after I decided to stop taking any medications for the symptoms (I was told by different doctors to take melamine restoring phosphates, anti-inflamation medication, ibuprofen, vitamin b complex with mostly awful results ), relaxed, trusted God, and let time do its thing.

 

Hope this information helps.

More you concentrate yourself on this problem more it will have impact on you.If you are sure it is nothing physical then it is wd.that means less thinking about symptom helps. :thumbsup:
