What Causes Left-sided Neck Stiffness And Hand Tremors?
I have had a stiff neck (back left-side) for several months now. The pain level ranges from 2 or 3 (after physical therapy) up to a level 7 when I m sitting or being inactive. My hands also have an occasional tremor - recently noticed by my dental hygienist. My daughter has been commenting about it for months. It is intermittent. Are the two problems related?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion there are chances that these problems could be related to same cause - mainly cervical disc disease or could be part of some other generalized disease like Parkinson's disease. I suggest MRI of the neck to evaluate the cervical discs. Then consultation with a neurologist would be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
