What Causes Hand Numbness While Writing?
Hi, I have had a problem with writing for 20 or so years now. My hand will get numb and if I don t stop and try to shake it out my hand will start to cramp up. My daughter who is 10 years of age told me her hand gets numb sometimes after a short while of writing. I noticed today while she was writing she started to shake her hand. Could this be a genetic thing? My was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at the age of 36, and my grandmother has always had joint pain. Thank you!
