Thank you all 😋for the info. I do take magnesium but still have cramping. I am a quilter so the cramps happen when I am sewing. It’s very annoying. I will try the warm water.

My hands cramp during the day, at night my feet try to twist upside down. I have to walk to make it stop. I bump into everything. It seems nothing is in the "right" place.

I agree with the AI response. Also I take magnesium and that seems to help.

Yes, finger cramping is a common symptom that many people with Parkinson's experience. Several MyParkinsonsTeam members have found relief by trying warm water therapy - soaking hands in warm or hot water can help relax cramped muscles and provide temporary relief.

Making sure you're taking your medications as prescribed is also important, as proper medication management can help reduce cramping and other symptoms. Some helpful strategies include:
- Regular hand exercises and stretching
- Taking breaks between activities to rest your hands
- Staying active with daily exercise (aim for at least 30 minutes)
- Listening to your body and resting when needed
- Managing stress and anxiety levels, as these can worsen cramping

Remember that while cramping can be frustrating, there are ways to manage it. Work with your healthcare provider to find the best combination of treatments and strategies for your specific situation.
