What Causes Spasms In Fingers And Toes With Ankle Swelling?

default
Posted on Wed, 29 Jul 2015
Question: I have been having spazems in my fingers and toes recently. In my toes only when I lay down for bedtime. My fingers will "draw up" at any time. I only hurts a little but I can't make it stop simply by trying to move my fingers like normal. But I can gently move the finger/fingers by gently moving them with my other hand. My ankles have also been swelling the past few days. I do work at a desk most of the day.

Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Your spasms in fingers and toes can be related to your vitamin and trace elements deficiencies. You are likely to get benefitted by vitamin, minerals including calcium and trace elements supplements. Proper hydration (drinking sufficient water) can be beneficial.You can get your vitamin D level to exclude vitamin D deficiency. If found low you can take vitamin D3 supplements. Your ankle swelling may be related to your heart and kidney condition. Your long sitting can also be a cause of ankles swelling. You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
