What Causes Tremors In The Neck And Arms?
My husband two years ago suddenly started having spontaneous jerking of his neck and arms . He has been seeing a neurologist and his brain is fine. He does have a very compressed neck. He does not have a diagnosis. Can the compressed nerves in his neck, have any thing to do with the jerking ? He has been on carbidopa / levodopa and requip for several months and has begun taking depacote. We have not noticed any help from the medications. Do you know of anything that might help . Thank you .

Hi,
The given history and the symptoms may be suggestive of Parkinson's disease and it is nothing to do anything with the cervical lesion or nerve compression, Parkinson's disease need to be ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain, General & Family Physician
