I'm a bit worried because my left pinky finger keeps twitching. It started about a week ago, and while there's no pain, it bothers me when I'm working on the computer. After doing some research, I read that twitching of the left pinky finger was one of the symptoms linked to Parkinson's, specifically mentioned with Michael J. Fox. Should I be concerned about Parkinson's, or could it be something else?

In your case, since there is no pain or other issues, it may be related to repetitive strain from working on the computer. I recommend trying to take breaks and stretch your fingers regularly. Additionally, you can take a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 5mg at night to help with the twitching. If the twitching persists or worsens, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
