What Causes Tremors In Hand And Tingling Sensation In Arms?

default
Posted on Sat, 4 Oct 2014
Question: Hi. About two weeks ago I started to notice what appears to a tremor in my right hand. Then a week later my left arm and hand started to tingle and twitch with a slight tremor in the hand. At this point it doesn't appear to be a resting tremor although when my left arm is tingling it almost feels as if the fingers on that hand want to move. The other symptom that appeared about the same time is soreness in the hamstring muscles that doesn't seem to want to go away. I have seem my doctor and he ran a few blood test, cmp, CBC and b12 all of which were within normal ranges except my WBC was a little low. Does this sound like the onset of parkinsons to you?

Thanks
doctor

Brief Answer:
Not really

Detailed Answer:
Parkinson's disease is a syndrome. Resting tremor is only a piece and not even an integral one just the most common. The disease is characterized by a slowness of movement. Usually there has been constipation since 50 years of age, a softening of the voice, stooping of posture, shuffling of feet, and some difficulty with balance. Usually the tremor is not noticeable at first and only comes out when walking or with distraction.
So I don't think this is parkinsons.

Hope this helps. answering the other symptoms will help more
