How Causes Difficulty In Controlling Fingers?

My husband is having something weird happening with his hands. He says that he can't control his fingers. He calls the feeling a drawing feeling and he can't control the fingers. The fingers draw up against each other. The sensation lasts about 5 mins. or so and then everything is ok. He's had 2 episodes tonight about 2 hours apart. He rubbed blue emu on his hands and that seemed to help.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Do not worry. There can be possibility of spasm. It can happen due to lack of vitamin B 12 or calcium in body. I would advice you to get serum B 12 estimation, and start taking pregabalin and methylcobal. I would also promote to rub his hand, so blood circulation will improve, and cramps will decrease.
