Guest guest Posted September 18, 2002 Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 Keri, my husband started that arm shaking about 4 months ago. It got really bad, and they finally said it was " active tremor " and related to a muscle spasm in his arm. It has gotten better since I started massaging where the particular muscle bundle is--I do this last thing at night and first thing in the morning, and there is still some restriction of movement, but not the wild flapping he was doing. He's also doing some exercises to try to strengthen the other muscles. He had all the tests too, with all negatives. Maybe that's 's problem too?

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 Thanks Judi, I'll mention that to the Doc. Maybe she'll look into that if everything comes back negative. It's kind of a scary thing when all of a sudden they start doing that out of the blue. Do you know anything more about it? What started it? Medication maybe?

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 Hi Keri, No, doctor didn't say what caused it, other than " age " --Ron is 65. But we are going to a new doctor now, whom I just saw today for the first time, and Ron actually said he'd like to try this new guy. I don't think it was medication, as he wasn't taking anything when it started, but it just suddenly got so much worse. He says sometimes his feet move too, and I have felt him " jerk " in the middle of the night. I just feel so bad for him, as he has always been so strong. I'll let you know if we find out anything, and you do the same, ok? God bless, Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
