What Could Be The Reason For Random Twitching In Index Fingers On Both Hands After Clenching?
Hello, I am a 20 year old who is physically fit and regularly exercises. My index fingers on both hands twitch randomly. I am wondering whether or not this is a concern. This is especially blatant after clenching my hands into a fist. Hope you can help!

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The random twitching in the index fingers is suggestive of a nerve root compression or irritation. This can also be related to Vitamin B 12 deficiency that can be detected by a simple blood test.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
