What Causes Constant Spasms In The Hands?
I have pretty constant muscle spasms in my hands and have for close to 20 years. Had to stop hand sewing. Grasping small objects, needles, potato peelers, etc, set if off. I have to use my other hand or spread on a table and they keep trying go right back for several minutes. I am 61 now but when I was 3 I closed a baby stroller on both hands. I pulled both out but cut off the left finger by my pinkie. them sewed it back on and I do have full usage. Always asumed this caused it off and on but now much more frequent. Need help.

Hello,
Spasms, or cramps, are involuntary muscle contractions. The most common causes of spasms are overused muscles (in the hands that might be due to writing or typing) and dehydration.
Other causes of muscle cramping include low levels of calcium and magnesium.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
