Suggest Cause For Twitching In Thumb

I had a separated shoulder in December due to a car accident and I have recovered quite well. Over the last couple of days I have noticed that my thumb on that side is twitching slightly when I carry out certain movements. Could this be related to my accident?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you mention you had dislocation of the shoulder 6 months back. and there would have been pressure on the brachial plexes , and have recovered ,there would have been recurrence again now.
Or the twitching might be due to the arthritis of the thumb joints.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment .
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms injections of vitamin B1,6,and 12 for10 consecutive days, and then periodically. protein supplements, calcium, multivitamins, diclofenac, and paracetamol.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
