Your symptoms and current medications (propranolol, clonazepam, and escitalopram) suggest a condition like writer's cramp or a localized nerve and muscle spasm. If these have not provided relief after 18 days, there are oral alternatives to discuss with your doctor before considering botulinum toxin injections. These include muscle relaxants (such as baclofen), medications that reduce involuntary muscle spasms (such as trihexyphenidyl), or nerve-pain relievers (such as gabapentin or pregabalin). Please consult your specialist or a neurologist to discuss these oral options, and consider incorporating hand physiotherapy, which can also be highly beneficial.

I have had liver-related problems and diabetes for the past 2 years, and I am taking Ciplar LA 40 and Lantus insulin. My weight has increased to 95 kg. Should I continue these medicines, and how can I manage my condition better?

Ciplar LA 40 helps control heart rate and blood pressure, while Lantus insulin helps manage blood sugar levels. Your weight gain may be related to lifestyle factors or long-term treatment, so focusing on diet control and regular physical activity is important. Try to follow a balanced diet, avoid excess sugar and maintain a routine for meals and exercise. Do not stop your medicines on your own. Consult your doctor to review your treatment and get guidance on safe weight management.
