Muscles / Tremor
by bakin_april, Feb 18, 2008 02:18PM
I'm waiting to see the neurologist for the first time in March. I've got a couple of questions before then & would appreciate someone's assistance:
1) My muscles are often stiff (they feel like I need a good stretch, but stretching doesn't relieve the sensation). It seems like I'm walking stiff-legged sometimes. I've got muscle spasms, too. Is this typical?
2) The new developments on my tremor are: if I lift a heavy glass of water there's a bigger shaking movement. I don't know if I'm describing this clearly, the glass goes back & forth in my hands. Also my tongue / lower jaw get tremors now. Not very often, but when it happens, I mangle my words & can't talk well. I've researched on the web & can't decide if these are the kind of tremors associated with PD or not.
Thanks for your insight.
