Does arthritis in your hands make you drop things? is there anything that can be done to help me stop dropping things? i'm only 35.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, arthritis in your hands, particularly in the joints about your thumb can make you drop things; but do can other conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome for example. I would recommend you be seen for an accurate diagnosis and then to discuss treatment options.
