Now I have noticed over last 2-3 yrs that my handwriting got worse and I find now that I could not even sign my name as when I try I hand gets stuck after one letter and then if I force then either I write in very hasty manner or take very long time to write next letter. I work on computers but not much. Kindly suggest what could be the problem and which specialist doctor should i consult either as I am facing severe embarrassment and hindrance in my work .

Hello,
Thank you for writing to us,
Your symptoms point towards early signs of Parkinsons Disease.
Let me inform you that Parkinsons disease is a disorder in which there are signal abnormalities in the brain which lead to problems in movement example difficulty in initiation of any movement, hastening in movement once that has begun, difficulty in walking,
Early signs are handwriting changes and changes that you decribe,
I suggest you consult a Neurologist for this,
I hope this helps you,
