What Causes Cramps And Stiffness In Hands?
My husband gets stiffness and cramping in his hands. He drinks water and orange juice and will eat a banana in hopes of getting it to subside. Do you know what causes this? It s more prevalent when he s using his hands for work projects but not always. Thank you

Hello Dear. Cramps can be due to several reasons. One is 1. Strain of the hands 2. Diabetes 3. Neurological 4. Hypocalcemia etc.
Eating fruits will help by supplementing vitamins which provide strength to nerves.
Ask your husband to consult a physician who may give vitamin and calcium supplement tablets which may help. Doctor may also test blood sugar and see if he is diabetic
