Are The Tremors Due To The Pain In Lumbar Region Or Dementia Causing?
My husband is a WWII AKA amputee. Over the years there has been deterioration of his lumbar area which he receives steroid inj. every 3 months for pain that is a 10# after standing with support of body for more than 5 min. He use to be able to stand most of the days 15 yrs ago. Now he has tremors in both his arms but not painful in arms while his back is hurting. What does this suggest what is happening in his painful lumbar to cause these tremors? Or is can his dementia (frontal lobe) cause involuntary tremors? Thank you.

Hi I have read the details you have written. In my opinion your husbands tremors do not appear to be related to his back pain or his amputation. He might be suffering from Alzheimer's disease in which tremors and weakness in his back is also explained( causing lumbar pain on standing).I suggest a check up by neurologist.
