Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i am a 49 year old male. i am experiencing lots of cramping in my hands and arms. simple tasks suck as brushing teeth and combing hair. i also am experiencing lots of muscle twitching and spasms in my arms and now up into my facial muscles as well. My jaw and hands/fingers are locking up. Thoughts?
You will need to have a good neurological examination to identify if the symptoms are persistent during the examination. In this case a neurological condition can be considered and proper other examinations might be needed to verify the diagnosis.
Motor neuron disease is the one to be ruled out when a patient experiences muscle twitching and spasms.
I hope I have answered to your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards,
Antoneta Zotaj General & Family Physician
