Question 1

can there be nerves in your hands?

Accepted Answer

Hand nerve: Your hand has several nerves which control the wrist and finger movement.  The ability to extend and flex a finger is due to nerves that control this movement.

Question 2

which is the medical term for crossed nerves in hands?

Accepted Answer

Come again?: I'm sorry, your question is not clear. Nerves aren't like electrical wires. They don't really "cross." Some nerves do communicate physically through connections called anastomoses, but the nerves aren't talking to each other. The nerve impulses always go between the brain and a muscle or a sensory structure, either outbound or inbound. Nerves don't "short circuit" like electrical circuits.

Question 3

what are nerve zingers in the hand?

Accepted Answer

Shocks: It's more of a slang term describing a sensation felt typically along a specific nerve in the hand/upper extremity.  They usually occur when that specific nerve is irritated, compressed, or most commonly i see it after nerve decompression surgery while the nerve is "waking up."   the nerve becomes hypersensitive and creates a shock like sensation along the path of nerve.

Question 4

the nerves in my hands are tingly.  i am not sure why.  any thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Multiple reasons: Tingy hands can be from multiple reasons such as capral tunnel or other nerve damage or can be as sign of anxiety. If it bad enough for you see fmd.

Question 5

can nerves in hand regenerate?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Nerve injuries do recover if the ends of the severed nerve are sewn together by a hand surgeon.  Beware that it is a very slow process.  Nerves grow back 1 inch per month from the cut end out to the finger tips, so expect months before feeling may start to come back, though initial feeling may be more like the pins and needles of a nerve waking up before any quality sensation comes back.

Question 6

i need some tips on how to reduce shaky hands, nerves?

Accepted Answer

Tremors: You need t be evaluated first by your PCP to determine if the cause is medical such as thyroid disease, or psychological such as anxiety.

Question 7

EMG/NCV: The ones in my office usually take about 25 minutes. Remember to schedule enough time for registration and preparation though.

Question 8

i cut the side of my hand two weeks ago. feels like i cut some nerves. how long until it heals?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends on severity and location of the injury.  It may or may not repair if you just sit around and wait for a miracle to happen.  Would be better to see your physician for examination.  Referral to neurologist, neurosurgeon, orthopedic surgeon, physical therapist, etc, may be indicated.

Question 9

the dr hit a nerve in my behind area with a b complex shot i have pain all on the right side of my body including my hands is his normal?

Accepted Answer

No explanation: No matter which nerve in the region of the buttock may have been penetrated it would have no connection to any hand pain or right upper extremity discomfort. Those would be unrelated issues to the injection.

Question 10

my nerves in hands and face shake?

Accepted Answer

Tremor: Several reasons for shaking, and your brief description may be consistent with heredofamilial essential tremor, but could possess hyperthyroidism, or medication reaction.  Parkinson's and Wilson's both have specific tremors, and all of the above could be considered.  A neurologist will sort out, and guide therapy decisions.
