Hand Cramps and Tightness?

[helpjoe]

Do many of you experience crampy type feelings in your hands? I get a tightness or crampy feeling when holding onto things...for example if I'm holding a plate while serving myself, I just feel like my hand is achy. I haven't really ever had a serious cramp to the point of a finger going crazy on me but it is uncomfortable and definitely not normal.I also experience a lot of tightness in my lower back, legs, etc. This causes knee aches and other aches. Is this something any of you experience or maybe I'm just a train wreck...I'm concerned right now about muscle diseases because of a mildly abnormal EMG done by a physical rehab doc. I saw a neuromuscular spec and he wants to repeat the EMG because he is optimistic that I do not have a muscle disease but I clearly worried. I don't know if this hand feeling is a symptom related to that or part of something benign.Any thoughts are appreciated.
