I found this video online, it's really close to what was going on with me:

Yesterday I had to check off numbers off a page and when I was holding the pen my hand shook horribly until I got it down onto the paper and concentrated on what I was doing. It's not as bad as this guy, but it's only been happening for a week.
I did take a Soma last night. I read some info online that stated docs like to give out Baclofen more than Soma, which is why I read about it on here more. It helped enough that my arm didn't hurt. The tremor didn't go away entirely. I suppose that it would be a good idea to go get a real prescrip to Baclofen now? Will my PCP prescribe that, or should I go to the pain doc?
Part of me wants to put up a stiff upper lip and just move on, part of me wants to hide in a hole and sleep for a year.

I am unaware of any direct link between beta blockers and neuropathy. Beta blockers can make hands and feet feel cold, and they may tingle when they warm back up. There are a few rare reports of beta blockers linked to a rare form of muscle damage however (myopathy) and even a rare drug induced lupus. But these are very few in number at PubMed.
