What Causes Sudden Numbness In The Hand While Writing?
Hi, for the past few days, when I am writing notes, sometimes my hand will stop moving. It s like I m in the middle of a letter, and all of a sudden my hand will stop moving and it takes a few seconds for it to start again. What could be causing this? Thanks!

Hello,
Thank you for using healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
It looks like you have signs of carpal tunnel which is compression of the median nerve in the wrist area.
You can use splint to rest the hand and cortison shots .
If not better than surgery is the next step.
