Hi!

Does anyone have anything like this?
My arms and hands are almost constantly twitching..

My homemade video:

Thanks

Cool video. Yes, I've had that happen. In fact, one day the side of my hand sunk in and stayed that way for a little while. It was really weird.

I think it is the degree of compression that change.

Try this :

Flat on your bed, close your head and think about nothing for 15 minutes. (relaxation). Breath with your stomach.

Tell if it change.

Cool video.

I've had those. I didn't find they were, in and of itself, was not painful, although the more pain I was in the more I had.

Good relaxation techniques will help.

Hope you find some relief soon.

I've had them too. They are annoying and distracting, but the least of my worries.

They do tend to indicate something isn't right (presumably nerve compression, stress or what have you) and often show up around the same time as other problems.

I recommend a few stretches, postural changes and then relax as much as possible.

I wonder if any of these trigger points might be the cause?

the main chart in case I missed another possibility -

If you can press a tennis ball against a wall or lay on the floor and roll on it or any small ball -
or have a friend help - press around on your back in the areas shown to see if any small knots or specific sore spots are there.

If you find any - here is the user guide on how to resolve them-

I personnaly have that when i relax my mind, i realy think it indicate a change in degree of compression.

less compression - compression return a bit - less compression scheme.

weird

im glad i dont get this

From looking at the Pressure pointer I can see that despite my VTOS issue the SCM seems to be very involved regarding many of my symptoms. I shall definately bring this topic up when I have my follow up with my surgeon to see if he can advise about PT to help.
Thanks for another great link.

I have a lot of SCM problems on my symptomatic side including extreme tightness and pain. When the tightness is bad, I get dizziness and sometimes pallor. When I get the SCM and other neck muscles to relax, the dizziness subsides.

See my thread at: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...d.php?p=795191

Also, I've been doing these stretches at least a few times a day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XlxMuuGIvI

And checking for and releasing tension in my neck throughout the day.

And finally getting some soft tissue work from chiros.

The upshot is that my neck tension and dizziness has come down about 70% in a few weeks.
