Twitching Muscle, No Pain, Need Advice

[CristenLaney]

Hi I'm Christen and am a 30 year old female, wife and mommy to a 4 year old girl...just wanted your opinion.

About a month ago I started with a twitch in the muscle below my right hand pinkie finger. It was quite strong and lasted about 3 days total and went away. Well about 3 days ago it came back...still quit strong but not stronger and I have not had any pain at all with any of this. No muscle weakness, no tingling sensation and no numbess as well. The twitch first showed up around the time that I started back at work full time after a almost 5 year stint as only working part time 2 days a week so I am under a great deal of stress!!! What I am wondering is if any of this warrants a Dr. visit or is it just stress?!?! I have always had the typical eye twitches here and there like we all get at times, and even a quick tremor here and there, but nothing that ever stayed around for more than half a day. I am leaning toward waiting this out and seeing if it will go away...I only have 25 more days of working full time. Any opinions are greatly welcomed!

without any weakness, or other symptoms it could very well be stress or bfs. if you are unduely preoccupied then see a dr for your peace of mind. otherwise i would not worry about it unless you start to have other symptoms that are bothering you or of concern. read the stickies here. they are very helpful.
