Hand tremors
Hello Doctors,
My mom is 58 years old , she is facing tremors. Initially she noticed it just for thumb .we consulted the best known Neurologist Dr. Satyawani in Surat but it didn’t help in anyway, he stated that its parkinson and prescribed few medicines but it never helped. We also consulted neurologist Dr.Wadia at Ruby hall Clinic pune but again it didn’t help.
Its been almost 2 years now. She does all her houses hold work and she is active too , now the tremors hits the palm and we are not able to find any cause.
Her health reports looks absolutely fine. Can you please suggest ? How is this treatable. She does not have Bp/sugar/Or high TSH.

Hi. If it’s indeed Parkinson’s disease then these tremors might not always be responsive to levodopa. At times we need to find a balance between expectations and realistic treatment goals. If the tremor is very severe and interferes with her daily activities then there are a few surgical options that can be tied. Discuss these with unit doctors if you feel so.
