Question 1

what does hand twitching indicate?

Accepted Answer

Not Sure?: I am not clear on what you mean by hand twitching.  If your hand has a tremor while at rest and this is new it should be checked out.  If you have a tremor while trying to do something with your hand, an intention tremor, this too should be checked out by your doctor.  If your hand seems to spasm after you have been doing something like writing this can be a sign nerve entrapment. See your doctor.

Question 2

yoga poses caused tingling of hand+ twitching of finger. 3 week of yoga later symptom now less. did it help or did i kill off the nerve?

Accepted Answer

Interesting: From your description and history, yoga was not harmful.  You did not kill a nerve.  Degenerative disc disease in a 26 year old man requires exercise, posture training and review of your lifestyle.  Yoga with an instructor that understands your condition would normally be a good thing.  Breathing properly during postures can change the pressure on  your discs.  Inversion postures recommended.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you and your symptoms warrant evaluation by a physician. If you are sexually active and missed a period, do a home pregnancy test.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
