Right Hand Skinny, Left Hand Puffy

[grapepie]

hi everyonewhile ive been doing ok..twitching subsided a great deal,and im learning to live with the aches and pains..however last night i was looking at both hands and my right hand is diffenitely ''skinnier'' than my left hand!!i can see the tendons very clearly in my right hand while my left hand is ''puffier''...of course this has sent me into overdrive once again anyone have any insight into this...? thanks in advance

Hey, it could be your right hand is slightly stronger and more muscle but it could also be the way the light is hitting them... Look at them under daylight rather than a light in the house but if your hand is not weak i really would stop looking as your causing anxiety ! We all know anxiety causes more twitching so we don't want that do we... Try to relax... You will get good days and bad as my tongue was great yesterday and only twitched a little but the second I got out of bed today it's been going at it quite a lot... Every minute I think ! It's annoying but if your symptoms stop or ease don't go looking for new ones...

OptimisticGuy is 100 % right. Slight difference in amount of subcutaneous tissue is normal. If therer is a REAL atrophy and weakness, even partial, the hand is usually VISIBLY different to anybody not only to you )) and subcutaneous tissue is not a muscle ome, it can waste and grow, and therer is nothing special in this process ))you also may have unilateral edema (slight one) caused for example by circulation troubles (I had that in my legs for example), so please do not worry )))

thankyou both for your replys,i am right hand dominant so thats probably the cause..it just freaked me out!your right anxious,i shouldnt be looking for things..my right hand has probably always been like this,ive told myself to cop on

Health anxiety can run rampant when BFS kicks off ... Trust me I know ....the fact you can have good days and bad days and symptoms can dissapear or move confirms your ok ! That's what BFS is... In trying to not let hot spot spots bother me and its worked, it's back to what kicked it all off 8/9 weeks ago and that was the tongue tip... It's my only main one now as everything else has really levelled out as I've got my anxiety under control !

Hands-up who has hands that are slightly different sizes... Do you want me to raise the bigger or smaller one? It's completely normal. Atrophy is a whole different ball game. Relax and try to enjoy the weekend.GlowGreen

The differences in your hands is not uncommon just as your tendency to worry about such crazy things. Most all of us have been down this road because we're all crazy and we ALL have differences in our bodies. My left arm is larger than my right, among other differences. No biggie.
