[|Human|] Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here..I have finger spasms on my left forefinger and am wondering if it may be related to the fact that I am 32 weeks pregnant and have also just been made redundant at work. Should I be concerned that I may have a stress related illness?.
[|AI|]  Hi, Pregnancy, especially in the last few weeks can cause the joints of the wrist and the ligaments in them to be swollen. These swollen ligaments can cause the fingers to twitch and have spasm. It is called carpal tunnel syn Chat Doctor. This especially affects the middle ginger, ring finger and little finger. If it gets unbearable you can try splinting the wrist. This usually improves on its own after delivery, without any long term effects. Hope this helps. Regards
