Essential Tremor
by Walden704, Feb 27, 2008 02:45PM
My neurologist has diagnosed me with Essential Tremor and Cervical Spondylosis (with some osteophytes). When I turn my head to the right it tremors quite noticeably. When my head faces to the front the tremors are not as noticeable. This began about 2 months ago and I am a 49 year old female.
Does one have anything to do with the other? Will the tremor get worse? He suggested Botox in the back of the neck to stop the tremors.
Thank You

Essential tremors are usually seen on other parts of the body, too. Do you have hand tremors ?
Botox may help with the neck pain and the tremors for some time. Cervical spondylosis is not associated with essential tremors.

If they are Essential tremors, you can expect them to stay the same. If they become worse, the diagnosis will have to be revised.
Botox may not help always. After some time, the body learns to tolerate drugs.
