Upper Arm trembling and Hand Problem

[pasmic7781]

Hello I am a 25 year old male and to my current knowledge I have no major health pronblems. Recently I have been expieriencing some dd symptoms and while searching the internet i came upon this site.

Symptoms are as follows:

1) I am having slight problems gripping things with my hands. Basically it is most notable when i go to lift up a drink or a bottle of liquid like a beer bottle. I can still lift it but it feels like i may drop it or that it is more difficult then normal. This problem comes and goes away.

2) When i flex my arms, especially my biceps, my upper arms will shake or tremble somewhat. This i know has never happened before. There is a range of shaking sometimes abrely noticable, other times moreso.

3) Finally I do not know if this is related but i have been having slight  lower back pain stiffness and  fatigue feeling in my lower back that I have never had before. This also comes and goes but it definetely gets worse when i am standing and walking around. This pain and stiffness also sometimes can be felt in my upper right thigh and the outside of my calf muscle in my rightleg. I do not know if this is related.

I have made an appointment for a physical with a new GP and i will explain these problems to him. But this forum is great so i was wondering if anyone had any input.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

i've been having weird nerve tremblimg in many part of my body, such as my left ankle and in the temporal area i dont know what it is but its really anoying and it make me scared. But you have to know that for the past couple month i did not eat well at all and also a long time ago maybe six months i hurt my heel  and these past weeks. When i walk i feel pain and the leg is not the same again i feel pain in my lower left back my knee. I dont know if anybody can tell me what is happening to me, or if it might be a lack  of vitamins.

I cannot give you a formal medical opinion over the internet unfortunately, as this site is purely educational

None of your symptoms seem particalary suggestive of a neurological disease. This can be confirmed by a normal neurological examination by your physician. Any abnoramlities on the neurological examination need to be followed up by the appropriate test - MRI for a central nervous system disorder and EMG/nerve conduction studies if there is evidence to suggest a peripheral nerve disorder.

Back pain that radiated to the thigh can be a result of a pinched nerve root in the back. An EMG of this leg or an MRI of the lower spine could help diagnose this if suspected.

Good luck
