What Causes Severe Cramps In The Hands?
Hello,my condition started with numbness in both hands mainly from middle finger to pinky. I could not even write my name very well. This lasted about 3 months. Then numbness in both hands went away. Then my hands started to cramp up really badly. This occurs when I start using my hands to do anything. They cramp up so badly I have to use my other hand to straighten then out. When I straighten then out and completely relax then, the cramping goes away. I had times during this past winter where my hands were exposed to the cold and became numb. I m thinking possible nerve damage because of this. What do you think?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about your hand muscle spasm and cramps.
As per your history and symptoms your chronic muscle seems to be because of calcium deficiency or vitamin D deficiency.
You may need the blood calcium and other electrolyte investigation done before starting your treatment. In case you have any respiratory related issue like hyperventilating one that can be the cause too.
You need to take healthy foods with better calcium in it, also visit a general physician for further evaluation and investigations.
Hope my answer will help you and visit us back if you have any further queries.
Regards
