I had hand cramps all the time on gleevec. Especially if I was using them a lot. I am a teacher so grading papers always brought on an attack. Cutting food, stirring when cooking, any thing that required extra hand movement did it. I drank tonic water, ate a lot of bananas, and took calcium that all seemed to help. It was especially bad on the little finger palm kuckle. It always went the opposite direction and was so painful. I am currently on tasigna and the cramps are minimal. Good luck, Barb in AZ.
