Oh my yes i wake up from a nap or watching tv and i have nail prints in my palms and they are deep. i also clench my teeth all times of the day and night. don't realize it until the pain starts.

funny how we can do things and not even realize it until someone else mentions it or it causes discomfort.

My left hand clenches very often and I need to open it or else it stays that way. Because of this I am usually one-handed. My doctor prescribed muscle relaxers for this and helps for a little bit. MS is such a pain in the butt!

My left hand is in a fist contracture, it can't be opened at all and I have been meeting with a hand surgeon to try to fix it. Came from a bad cervical lesion. Just watch out that it doesn't contract or get a splint to sleep in. Best of luck to you!!

I clenched my teeth without realizing it until it starts to hurts. I take a muscle relaxer at night when I sleep because of the muscle spasms. That may help you.

I take Baclofen before I go to bed but I still wake up over and over again all night jerking. My kids always told me I was a spaz. LOL

This definitely happens to me too! I also get the hand-locking that sweetlifebf talked about! :( cervical lesions.... sadness I have TONS and lots of pain in my neck constantly. (as well as other places of course lol)
Anyway try some magnesium! I take 800mg a day of magnesium aspartate (easier on digestion so less likely to give you diarrhea). It works wonders on the clenching, locking, spasticity in general HUG Also, its natural and most people are magnesium deficient without even knowing it.

im sorry you go thought that. i dont have a problem with it myself , but i do always notice myself having to think really hard to walk. like my legs arent getting the message to move. maybe it kinda has to do with the same thing. not sure what it means tho.

hi- well its part of it for some of us- you prob. need something like mysolene- i have jerked so hard before at night- almost throw something out of place- so this med- does really help- id tell them or even if bad call- get on something you dont need to go through this

This is quite common (unfortunately), I take baclofen to help with it & also magnesium (havent noticed it helping). If I miss baclofen it does. I often put one of those little stress balls in my hand then a sock over it & that way cant dig nails into hand.
Anything to relax & something to keep hand open that works for you is all you have to do. You are not alone.
