What Does Shaking, Numbness Of Hands In Sciatica Spinal Arthritis Patient Indicate?

I have very light hand shaking when I do things like write or just look at my hands. When I pick up a small bowl of water for my cat, my hands shake violently. I do have Sciatica, Spinal Arthritis, and 3 buldging discs in my lower back. My hands and arms also go numb when I type or lay down for ten to fifteen minutes at a time. Any Ideas?

Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your suffering and understand your concern.The sciaticca/ spinal arthritis (lower back)has nothing to do with symptoms in hand.
The possible cause could be parkinson disease/carpal tunnel syndrome (median nerve getting compressed at wrist) or pinched nerve at cervical level.
You need detail physical exaination beside blood test and nerve study (EMG/NCV test).
I would suggest a visit to a neurologist/physician that will be helpful.
Hope your query is answered.
Regards
I find this answer helpful
