Question 1

in what way can i grow my hand muscles?

Accepted Answer

Exercise: The hand contains many small muscles between the bones that contribute to hand strength and dexterity. ANd like any muscle they will get stronger and bigger with exercise.  However, these muscles are delicate and can be strained or injured with overuse.  If you really need to improve hand strength I would suggest a referral to a hand therapist who could advise you on the best way to improve grip

Question 2

what will happen if my hand muscles artrophied for one year due to nerve transection?

Accepted Answer

Loss of strength: Unfortunately, the nerves in the human body do not regenerate.  However, with some aggressive physic therapy, you will regain some strength and range of motion.  See your neurologist or primary care physician and get started asap

Question 3

left arm and hand muscles are locking up when working out. could i be doing something wrong?

Accepted Answer

Clicking and locking: In a wrist could be a ligament injury or tear, a looseness in the wrist causing a "clunk" when the wrist bones ar out of position and suddenly "catch up" and snap into place,  a snapping tendon that is out of place and other things,  fimgers can also lock from trigger fingers.  Snapping in the elbow can be joint or tendon related.

Question 4

my hand muscles start paining very early while i drive or write or type or any kind of work which uses hand.i am frustrated.how can i get rid.help.

Accepted Answer

Hand pain: hand pain can be many things from arthritis to a nerve compression syndrome like carpal tunnel.  First I would seE your primary doctor who may order blood tests to check for arthritis syndrome. Otherwise a referral to a hand surgeon may be needed to evaluate for carpal tunnel syndrome or other nerve compression syndromes.

Question 5

every once in a month y my leg, thigh and hand muscles feel powerless, and i feel difficulty in getting up from chair. and it goes away after 3 days y?

Accepted Answer

Muscle powerless: You require a physical examination by a doctor to determine the cause of this.  You may need lots of testing as there are many possibilities.

Question 6

my intrinsic hand muscles are very tight, my whole body feels heavy, im experiencing hot and cold flashes, but i dont have a fever. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Myalgias: It sounds like you're describing generalized myalgia which also without your hands as well as other areas of the body of this time this could be a program to a viral infection, or maybe she harbinger of something more serious. I would see your family physician or internal medicine physician as soon as possible for a complete examination.

Question 7

top of forearm has slight feeling of numbness, but it's not and hand muscles are tight when trying to open hand, also feels weak but stength is good?

Accepted Answer

Arm pain: Tough to diagnose without an exam, sound like a possible shoulder issue with a minor nerve irritation causing the top forearm numbness and the tightness in lower muscles too.  See the doc for an exam and eval, best wishes.

Question 8

heavinees in arm from shoulder to hand. clean ncs around hand/wrist and clean emg from deltoid to hand muscles. arm still strong just heavy feeling?

Accepted Answer

EMG, really?: I am a bit perplexed as to why a 25-year-old who sounds otherwise healthy with a chief complaint of arm or shoulder heaviness would be getting an electrical study of the limb. Noted are moles and nevi in your history. Maybe you are leaving out some other information that would be of help? Otherwise, with that particular symptom i would've predicted a very normal outcome to your studies as well.

Question 9

right-handed and rt-side dominant (i think), but left arm, hand, muscles, foot, etc. seem somewhat larger. is there a scientific explanation for that?

Accepted Answer

Asymmetry is art!: One side of the human body is NOT a mirror image of the other,ever. Art Critics think this is more aesthetically pleasing and finer art. It means that everyone has differences, some more or less obvious.  Other times, yest, it can indicate a disease process of some kind.  But if is not new, and it does not affect your self-esteem or functioning, relax, and consider yourself a Masterpiece of Nature

Question 10

how can i improve my hand muscle?

Accepted Answer

Exercise: As with  muscles in other areas of the body the hand muscles can be strengthened with exercise and increase use. Be aware that some muscle weakness in the hand can be related to nerve compression syndromes so an evaluation by a hand surgeon may be helpful.
