What Does Twitching Sensation In The Forearm Indicate?

Age: 23 Sex: M Height: 6 2 Weight: 245 Race: White/Caucasian Duration of complaint: week and a half Location: Right Hand, wrist, and forearm Description: Sorry if its too long So I am a professional gamer on PC for an eSports team. A week or so ago I noticed that my playing has felt extremely awkward in my mouse hand. It feels as if my hand is struggling to move certain places and feels very shaky and awkward. I noticed as well when I am clicking the mouse I can feel sort of a very slight twitch in my upper forearm. When just normally typing I can feel that my right hand is off I tried various stretching and other routines I have found online for carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel but everything I have read on those relates to numbess/pain in areas and I am experiencing none of that. While doing those stretches I realized that if I elevate and extended my index finger it causes my middle finger to start shaking/twitching without my control. I thought maybe this was a normal thing but my left hand does not do this at all. Does anyone know what this could possibly be? This was kind of a overnight thing that happened suddenly with no prior issues... I was hoping this wasn t some neurological disorder as I have no pain or any signs of a physical injury to myself. I appreciate any help! Thank you

Hello,

Sometimes due to overuse of the muscle, this can happen or upper motor neuron can do this if you want to rule out neurological condition. Do the electromyograph.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
