A member asked:

Why do my fingers freeze up? when they do i am unable to move them for several minuates. this happens several times a day. there is no pain when it happens

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Being : Being unable to use fingers for minutes at a time can be inconvenient, and in certain circumstances may even be dangerous (such as if you might need to turn off a gas valve, or activate a signal in a vehicle). There are a number of neurological conditions that could explain loss of ability to voluntarily move the fingers, including dystonia, myotonia, or even a type of epileptic seizure. It is important to identify the cause, so that related issues can be identified, and treatment can be started. Definitely a good idea to see a neurologist.
