  • this always happens to my fingers and legs. Happens when im crying because of parents. But for some reason, it doesn't hurt me.

  • Hyperventilation can cause alkalosis, which can also cause this sign. You may be hyperventilating when you're crying, but I'd mention it to your doctor; checking your calcium might be a good idea.

  • This sign is an indication of low PTH due to thyroid surgery ..low blood calceuim increase the sesntivity of the motor neurons ..blood pressue cuff occlude the brachial artery and then blood supply to the forearm >>hypocalcemia and the irritate the neruomuscular and PIP and DIP then cause the adduction..
