For years I get twitches all over my body. For the past 3 weeks now my hand has been twitching. It feels pretty constant with small breaks. It moves my index finger. Its my hand I use for writing and typing. No other symptoms. Should I go in or wait?

A member asked:

I have very minor twitching at base of left thumb (when I move the thumb closer to my index finger, it trembles a little). I jammed said thumb 2+ years ago. I'm right handed. Could that have caused this twitching? I have no known health issues.

A member asked:

I have a ganglion cyst (presumably) which appears and disappears on my right wrist (underneath). Sometimes my right index finger twitches after I clench my hand and/or use my hand. No twitching if I don't use the hand. Could the cyst be responsible?
