A member asked:
Can stress cause muscle rigidity? last night i was having difficulty opening/closing hands
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, but sounds more serious than just stress if it's both hands. Because you're young, it's unlikely anything too serious, but make sure to get it checked out if it continues for more than 1 week or disturbs your everyday life.
