Question : I have been suffering for the past year with peripheral neuropathy, especially involving my limbs on my right side. Had been limited to numbness, tingling, aches & pains. Now also experiencing trembling in my right hand. Do you think that is related to the overall condition ?

Thank you for whatever you can suggest.

Brief Answer:
Tremors are not related to peripheral neuropathy.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Tremors of the right hand are not due to peripheral neuropathy. You need evaluation to rule out Parkinson's disease. Other common causes of tremors are essential tremors and anxiety. A detailed clinical examination by a neurologist usually sorts out the issue.

I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.

Best wishes,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar
