Would Compression Neck Injuries And Cervical Arthritis Cause Hand Tremors?
I have a slight hand tremor noticed moreso when I am holding a telephone receiver to my left ear. I have sustained compression neck injuries through the years and a recent MRI shows moderate cervical arthritis which impedes neck movement and very severe headaches at times. Could this be related to the left hand tremors noticed more when I hold the telephone to my ear?

Hello,
Yes. It could be due to damage to nerves in spinal cord supplying hand.
As far as cervical arthritis is concerned, Injury to spine may cause pain and movement restriction.
Head aches may be due to changes in cerebro spinal fluid pressure circulating in brain and spinal cord.
Please write back for further queries.
