Can someone please help! my thumb is constantly tremoring?

[SoupsYouSir]

Last night just before I went to bed I noticed my left thumb was tremoring every 10 seconds or so and I was holding the phone so thought it was because of that. I then fell asleep and woke up his morning with the same thing happening.

I'm not sure if it's been happening all night whilst I slept but as soon as I came round and woke up I noticed it straight away.

What the hell is this?

I've had that happen when I've used my hand too much like when gardening, and the muscles in my arm cramp up my thumb starts tremoring. Do you have muscle pain in your thumb? Or higher up your wrist arm or even shoulder? I usually try to relax it all, maybe rub in some lotion and massage it a bit, and generally it goes away after a day or so. I guess it depends how badly you've strained the muscle. I've bought a wrist support thing now for my hands as I get some arthritis as well, I think it helps support the muscles there if you keep having issues

I dont have any advice but I get this all the time in the evening, especially if I'm overtired. I'm so used to it now it doesn't bother me and I'm not sure how to stop it anyway!

I have lately been getting really tense sore neck and upper back esp in my sleep. Could it be linked to that do you think?

Could be! I had a frozen shoulder couple of years ago, and it started with wrist problems, elbow problems, my whole arm was aching sometimes, and it took a while to realise the issue was actually in my shoulder. I guess it was trapping nerves or something and sending the pain down my arm. It's amazing how issues higher up affect the rest of the arm. Maybe you're sleeping in the wrong position. Neck at a bad angle or something. Pillow not supportive enough?

It could be linked to the shoulder and neck (like a trapped nerve) and maybe it’s causing a benign fasciculation (twitches/tremors).
I get thumb tremors, toe tremors and eye lid tremors that can last anything from a few minutes to a few days. My eyelid tremor lasted a few weeks and that was so annoying! Mine was actually caused by low magnesium so a banana a day keeps my tremors away!
