tremors

[staley]

After I move my left thumb toward my palm and back out, it wiggles back and forth.  The thumb also has a vibrating sensation at least once or twice a day.  Also, my left forearm will occassionally move by itself, externally rotating out about one-quarter to one-half inch and back in.  Seldom, the left forearm will tremor back and forth like this repeatedly.  Anyone have any ideas as to what this could be?

Thank you for your question. Although without being able to examine you I can not offer you the specific advice on diagnosis and treatment that you need, but I would try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern.

I would recommend that your tremors should be evaluated for fatigue, stress, anxiety or a form of panic attack. Other possible causes of tremors could be overactive thyroid, Parkinsonism disease, alcohol use, certain medications, alkalosis, and low blood sugar. Sometimes previous injury may cause pinched nerve and may be a reason of tremor but this possibility remains low. Therefore, it is quite essential to thoroughly assess the all possibilities here with the help of a doctor. Hope this helps.

Could be anything from a pinched nerve in your C6 area to MS. Go to a Neurologist and get checked out.
