hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.

As mentioned by you, that you face tremor in the feet, I will advice firstly toget a Neuromuscular assessment, by which we come to know what factors to consider and what to rule out. The first line will be MRI of lumbar spine to see any soft tissue pathology, later NCV of the lower limbs, and lastly the MRI of the brain is the Neurologist feels so.

usually Tremor of the feet muscles can be due to the pathology of the spine. And very rarely with the brain but still an examination will guide us better.

Also, this tremor can be due to any nerve weakness or vitamin deficiency, which can be corrected by medication as well.

I will advice further to undergo physical therapy for tremor as it will help to regain the strength and correction of muscular imbalances.
