Q: Finger Twitch + Noise In Ear.

Hi, i'm a 20 year old male, studying at uni. I have a gorgeous girlfriend who has myoclonus, a neurological disorder that is used to generalize some ocasional involuntary body jerks. This has nothing to do with my question however.

About 2 weeks ago I had a twitch in my right-hand index finger. It wont go away! It happens every now and then. When it comes, it comes in waves, the activity comes for a while. It angers me off. I'm a programmer, and I can't deal with a twitching finger. (but it hasn't happened today) a couple of days after that started, I started getting a sound in my left ear. It occurs in sessions, it's happening right now in fact, bursts of bassy unrythmic thuds. It's like there is a muscle that is running near my ear is twitching.

As for situational changes, I can't really think of any, except i've recently gone back to uni. What should I do? I'm a pretty healthy person, I go to the gym to weight-train. Could it be related to products i'm taking? I'm taking a muscle-building suppliment called "swole v2", and some normal whey protein.

Don't know about the ear. The finger twitches sound like the start of repetitive strain injury--which includes carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, and other unpleasant things. I'm copying in lots of links and you may be able to modify your exercise program to strenthen muscles that are under-used while others are over-used at the computer.

First, here's a post from someone with finger twitches, read the reply "twitches...", too.
