hands stop working

Post Reply New Topic

Hey all.

I just have a question. When I was small I remember my mother would ask me to fill in a form or help me with math and my hands would stop working, I would lose all muscle power and when I tried to write I had to hold the pen with both hands and still it wasn't enough, the writing would come out as a old person with rheumatism wrote it. My mother would get frustrated because she thought I was messing around.
I got it again a couple of days ago but this time I was sitting in front of a laptop so I could just stop and relax, but it went on for about 15 min and I coulden't close my fist properly, 0 power.

What the hell is that? lay it on me...

Could be any of several different things; you should probably discuss it with your health care practitioner. Any pain or other symptoms? Injuries, repetitive motions, etc?

I have hurt my hands a couple of times but my body has always been strong. I don't experience pain. My hands act normal but sometimes (I'm trying to remember how I felt when it happened since it can be connected to a emotional state) they just lose power, and it feels like tiny pinches all over my hands.

Can it be failed blood circulation?

I do crack my knuckles now and then...

Could also be nerve damage. You should get it checked out, just to rule out any major problems.

I guess, I have a appointment coming up soon. I'll let them know and check my neurons.

Could be a pinched nerve in your neck too. For awhile I was getting it in one hand only and it was a shoulder impingement.

I see, could a massage help you think?

It's possible. I would still have it checked out because there may be a more serious underlying condition.

true that, thanks for the heads up.
