A member asked:

I was using bleach to clean now my hand feels tight n a lil achey.. and when i bend my thumb it shakes help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I doubt...: ...That the bleach had anything to do with it. You may have scrubbed a bit too vigorously and pulled a muscle or two in your hand. If it doesn't subside in a day or two, see your doctor.
