What Causes Muscle Spasms In The Hands?
Hello, My husband spent a couple of hours raking in the yard. Within a few hours after he has finished raking, he is noticing that his hands cramp up like a Charlie Horse type pain. He has difficulty straighten out his hands for a while afterwards. He has no other symptoms.

Hi,
I think this may come from overuse of muscles, tiredness and dehydration.
I think he can have fluids to ease symptoms. He can also have potassium-rich food such as bananas or potatoes to balance the electrolytes equilibrium.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
