Tremors...
 

I was wondering if anybody else is experiencing bouts of tremors?
I every now and then just start shaking uncontrollably like Parkinson's. Each time it lasts a little longer and more stronger...:(:(

Hi... I'm new here and only was diagnosed in October. I too experience tremors. Some times worse than others. I keep forgetting to ask the dr if it is due to the meds or the crps which I have in my right arm/shoulder/hand.

Not for me. Is this new, though? Or getting worse?

It's a fairly common side effect of Lyrica, with 11% of patients experiencing it.

I get tremors too...usually when the pain reaches a level of 9/10 and whenever I do full weight bearing (which means the pain is that high I guess so same thing). They usually last as long as it takes for the pain level to go back down a bit. I've had them less often since I got the TENS unit because for 3-4 months before I got that I was at a 9-10 pain level all the time.

Hoooshmand talks tremors happening in the RSD effected limbs in puzzle #21.

I have tremors, not always, but sometimes I can't write or type, hold a glass or cup. I don't know if it's meds, the rsd, or I suspect the TBI also. (head trauma). (I had rsd for a long time, before the head trauma, and that's when the tremors really started).
Sometimes, I imagine it could be my sugar.
But it certainly is annoying, and Tiring! Imagine how much energy is must take, to shake like that!?

I've had tremors in my rsd affected hand for a long time but recently I've been having wicked bouts of them in both of my legs as well! Crazy! I don't know what that's about.

Bicep twitching/tremor
 

RSD for 4mo. and the twitching in the bicep for three. There wasn't anything that brought it on and nothing that helps or stops it. I too notice that the more pain I am in the more it is twitching. The doctors (pain managment and neurologist) both have no idea why it would be doing this and say that they have never seen it before with rsd.

I have twitching and spasms as well, but I wouldn't call them tremors.

Ruling from the judges? Aren't tremors slightly different?

I'm talking full blown tremors. So bad that I sit and uncontrollably shake like I'm having some sort of seizure or something. Afterwards I have this spent/ tired feeling that takes a while to overcome....:eek:

That's what I get too.

I also get the muscle twitches and spasms sometimes...but the tremors are the worst...much more severe.

I have had tremors/spasms all my life as I was born with cerebral palsy, but the RSD has made it way worse...I have started to stutter, something that I overcame as a child.

i experienced tremors like that in my legs for seven years, i now have a baclofen pump. and they're vey very minimal now.

Tremors
 

I get tremors in my hands especially when I am holding something lite like popcorn..".not sure what's up w that but my continued muscle wasting is going to do me in..it's just so bad...."

I'm fortunate to usually be able to use my arm. I try to favor it for small tasks but always have to think about it before I do. It has certainly lost a lot of strenght but not a lot of mass yet. I still try to exercise it as much as the other. Good luck.

I have several types of tremors. The most bothersome is a fine high frequency tremor that keeps me awake. Tizanidine helps a lot.

Muscle relaxers like Slelaxin, Baclofen, Flexeril, Soma might help. I only take Skelaxin at night because it makes me tired. But my biceps do twitch sometimes. It's maddening...

Good luck. Xoxo. Sandy
