A member asked:
I've been experiencing a spasm in my left thumb, and i keep feeling a jerk like movement in the thumb. it's not painful, but is definitely annoying as?

Muscle spasm: or tic or fasciculation. Suggests some nerve might have gotten pinched or a muscle is not happy. Very unlikely to be serious unless something is also happening in your hand or arm or if it comes on at the same time as head/neck pain on the same side. If so, see a clinician.
