Is there a name for this?

Post Reply New Topic

Fingers curling up a bit. No, not carpal tunnel nor arthritis since there's no pain.
Some examples are:
Having trouble opening up a plastic bag or inserting things inside of it occasionally. Or when you type something too fast you accidentally put in too many letters. It's a numbing feeling in your hands that disallows you to do certain things if you're not careful.
Is there a name for it? Does anyone have this problem too, or is it just part of the asperger's spectrum?

If it keeps up, I'd see a doctor. It sounds nerve or muscle-related, which could be from any number of things.

Are your shoulders sore or tight? Tight muscles in the neck or shoulders can cause problems in the hands. Try taking an anti-inflammatory to see if that helps.

I don't think it's Asperger's-related.

I wouldn't panic--but I would see a doctor (or a neurologist, if possible).

It's probably not significant, from what I read.

I have rat hands, though I'm not sure if that's what your talking about.

I don't think it's aspie related either, or at least I've never heard like what you describe as being related to Aspergers before.

Are you taking any medication? It sounds to me like the sort of thing that could be a side affect or something.

look up dupeytren's (spelling?) contracture and let me know if that's it. more common in heavy alcohol users and diabetics.

Doing hand exercises should help, but if it doesn't, you should see a doctor. There's a neurological condition called focal hand dystonia that often causes the fingers to curl up.

Pretty sure it doesnt have anything to do with aspergers/autism.

Closest thing in my experience is when my hand "falls asleep" from sitting on it or whatever. Leading me to think it might be circulation related.
