What Causes Severe Cramps In The Hand?
Yesterday, after a day of normal activity (no exertion), just above my left wrist into my hand, it began to cramp and my middle and ring finger began to curl. All was isolated no more than 5 inches above my wrist. My face did become a little flush and these were all of my symptoms. I ve had hand cramps in my right hand before, after a day of yard work. This was in my left after a relatively normal day. Just wondering....

Hi,
His extreme hand cramps are magnesium or calcium deficiency symptoms. Minerals are more important than vitamins. He needs blood tests for electrolyte disturbance in this case, and then to take advice from your doctor for magnesium and calcium supplements. Few foods that can relieve you of any magnesium deficiency symptoms are- black beans, spinach, squash. almonds, sesame seeds, okra etc.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
