What Causes Tremors In The Legs Upon Standing For Long Periods?

My husband is 68, basically pretty healthy, although he lives with chronic a-fib. He works out every day, walks 2-3 miles...this after having both knees replaced 5 years ago. Lately, he has noticed when he stands still for periods of time (like in church) his legs tremble. Is this anything we should be concerned about?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

He may be developed muscle weakness temporarily so he developed tremors. Usually patients with osteoarthritis may develop quadriceps femoris muscle weakness which may lead muscle spasm. Take Rest for few days , use knee support brace , if Symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
