Hand tremor only during walking? ! Does anyone have the same symptom?

[rancsikanna]

My husband has very intensive hand tremor but during only walking. He takes 2-3 steps andbthe tremor starts. When he sits down it stops. No tremor when sitting or resting. Does anyone has same symptom?

Same here, my hand tremor usually start after walking or running for 2 to 3 mins, and then gone in about 10 mins. Try to use a stress ball, it works for me.

Same with me, when sitting no tremor, only when I stand up or start to walk. Yesterday I went to visit a new doctor he even told me that this might be no PD. He also told me to make drug test because if I dont respond well to C/L than PD is excluded. But I know that I respond well to C/L except that stupid tremor. (mouvments are faster my reactions are faster, I can better hold my back, etc. ) So here I am ttly confused I know only one thing for sure is to try to make as much exercices as much I can... hopeing that it will help.

Can also be essential tremor, you should ask for a datscan. A common sign of PD is when we walk, one side of arm doesn't swing.

[zsipet in reply to Racerk]

Datscan I had and it seems that the left side of my subtantia nigra has cell dammage.

Also when this whole nightmare started 2 years ago my right arm stopped to swing it was one of my early signs.

If you stand up and do not move - do you get tremor ?

Or feel like falling ?

[zsipet in reply to NuroMod]

when i only stand up usually there is no tremor

[NuroMod in reply to zsipet]

Did I mis read in your post you mentioned .." when sitting no tremor , only when stand up " ?

And if you walk faster - does the tremor reduce or stop ?

[zsipet in reply to NuroMod]

sorry you are right the correct formulation would be "stand up and walk" instead of stand up or walk

[NuroMod in reply to zsipet]

OK. That makes a huge difference ...😀

[zsipet in reply to NuroMod]

I dont know my guess is that not really...

but it would good to know if someone has the same type of tremor as I do, meaning that only when walking

[NuroMod in reply to zsipet]

Does the tremor reduce if you walk faster ? Tremor in the hand ? Legs as well ?

[zsipet in reply to NuroMod]

i only have tremor in my right hand not in my legs. in fast walking also occurs but only on right side hand.

[NuroMod]

Hi ,What if he just stands still ? Any tremor ?

When just standing still - does he feel like falling over ?

And when he walks faster - does the tremor reduce or stop ?

I have a left-hand tremor when I'm not using or conscious of/thinking about that hand; for example, when I'm brushing my teeth with my right hand. Usually, I stop the tremor when I notice it and consciously control my left hand.

i have a genetic mutation so I know for sure I have pd. Meds control my tremor very well but excitement brings it on despite the meds. If my meds are near the end of their cycle simply walking could bring on the tremor which usually settles as I continue walking. For me it is the “excitable “ reaction that brings it on and as I settle down it does tend to stop, unless it is time for more meds

Many people have the genes associated with Parkinsons but do not have Parkinsons. There also needs to be a trigger. Do you take CD /LD

[Missy0202 in reply to Gymsack]

Yes I do

[fel3k]

my husband has tremors..what meds

Is he on? Sinemet not working for him

[gginto]

when I start walking the tremors start in both hands- when I stop they subside. I asked neuro he said probably a pd trait .. woohoo....

[Gymsack in reply to gginto]

The general rule for most people is if it is Parkinson's than tremors will show at rest (not sleeping) and stop when concentrating on an action and CD/LD will have some effect. No effect = not PD

When I go on a walk, my left arm stiffens and tremors. I found a coordination exercise of 3 points, Hands tapping each other, L to R then R to L, then R or L to belly, repeating until the tremors and stiffness dissipates. The coordination is 2:3, feet are walking in a two step and hands move in a 3 step.
