The muscles in my right arm keep twitching

When our arms exert force, the muscle groups will contract and stretch. Muscles are the main components of our body. They are the outermost protective layer of our body, which can effectively protect our internal body from external damage, or when we are impacted by the outside world, they can reduce the external force and relieve the impact through muscles. Next, let’s take a look at the continuous twitching of the right arm muscles.

It may be because the right hand has been overexerted recently, causing local nerve and muscle tension and throbbing. This problem can usually be relieved by rest or local hot compress.

Guidance:

As analyzed above, it is usually caused by overwork, overexertion, etc. It will get better after resting for a period of time. If it continues and rest does not improve it, it is recommended that you receive acupuncture treatment.

The involuntary rigid contraction of muscles is called muscle spasm, commonly known as "cramp". Muscle cramps during exercise are most common in the calf gastrocnemius muscles, followed by the flexors, toe flexors, and finger flexors.

1. Causes

1. Cold stimulation. For example, if you exercise in an environment with cold water or cold air, muscle cramps are likely to occur if you do not do enough warm-up exercises.

2. Electrolyte imbalance, especially sweating during exercise in the summer, can cause electrolyte imbalance in the body and cause muscle cramps.

3. Muscle contraction disorder or damage. If the muscles are not relaxed enough due to continuous contractions that are too fast, spasms may occur. Or if the muscles are repeatedly micro-damaged during exercise, protective tonic contractions may occur.

(II) Performance

When the muscles spasm, the local area becomes hard and the pain is unbearable, and the fingers and toes bend involuntarily and are difficult to straighten.

(III) Processing

1. Pull the flexed fingers (toes) and hyperextend them so that the spasmodic muscles can be stretched and relieved, and then apply local massage and hot compress.

2. Get away from the stimulation of the cold environment and drink some salt water.

4. Prevention

1. Strengthen exercise, improve adaptability, and do adequate warm-up before exercise, especially when exercising in a cold environment. Massage the muscles that are prone to spasms appropriately.

2. Pay attention to keeping warm in winter. Do not stay in the water for too long when swimming in winter. When swimming in summer, if the water temperature is low, the swimming time should not be too long.

3. We sweat a lot in summer, so make sure to drink some salt water to replenish lost electrolytes.

4. When you are tired, you should avoid strenuous exercise for a long time.
