What Causes Curling Of An Index Finger?
Question: today while using iPad my index finger curled. Could over use have caused that
Brief Answer:
Can be due to overuse.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The curling could have been due to muscle spasm caused by overuse. You need to give rest to your finger. Take a mild pain killer in combination with an oral muscle relaxant if this curling is persistent. It will correct on its own with rest.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
