twitching pinky - Parkinson's Disease Message Board

Tart · 07-18-2003, 06:34 AM

I have noticed over the last few days that when I'm lying down on my right side, my pinky on my right hand will twitch for a few seconds, and then stop.

I had an MRI in march of this year and there were no abnormalities shown (although the reason for that mri was something unrelated).

I heard that MJ Fox had this symptom as well. From your experience what would you recommend I do?
Thanks.

A tremor could mean a variety of things. You can find a list of movement disorder specialists (MDS) on the medtonic web site. To get the best results, mske sn appointment with a MDS at your closest university medical center.

An MDS can diagnose you much easier than a local neurologst. You will be glad that you go to an MDS. Tremor is a non specific symptom and can be difficult to diagnose and may not be pd.
