I keep having a muscle spasm on my hand where thumb is?

Muscle Spasm: You really need a proper evaluation by a medical doctor. Muscle spasm may be due to electrolyte imbalance (potassium, sodium problems), thyroid disease, or in your case to carpal tunnel syndrome, etc. The list is too long to list here, but you need a proper evaluation to get more of the background here (how long it has been going on, any trauma, etc) and possibly to order some lab tests.
