I have never experienced that. Wow! A symptom that my resident PD demon hasn't thought of yet.

Yup πŸ‘, it’s the PD. My left side is where most my stiffness is, I use a small squeeze ball to work my fingers while watching some of my TV shows. During commercials I march in place or walk around the house doing arm exercises while using 2 pound hand weights. I have been doing balance exercises that are free from the internet and just starting chair yoga. The more I exercise, the more I feel like, I am in control of my body.
Have a great rest of the week.

Yes I have trigger finger on both hands and different fingers. Started about 3 years ago. Diagnosed with pd 18 months ago. Mostly happens when playing cards. Drinking pickle juice helps with this and muscle cramps

I forgot to mention the weird little but subtle hula dance my fingers on my left hand sometimes do. The grandkids and great grand kids pretend not to notice but they (and I) get a good laugh together at this occasional small quirky movement!

Yes my hubby says, that's a thing that has happened to him.
