Brief Answer: Less likely that tremors are due to joint replace Detailed Answer: Hello I have studied your case. It is less likely that tremors are due to joint replacement There are various reasons for tremors The symptoms may likely to be due to Vitamin B12 deficiency or a fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Taking proper supplements will help in symptomatic improvement after a few blood investigations. It could come in people who are chronic alcoholics but most often than not it is idiopathic and u can take tab betacap tr in the night to treat it. But don’t take the pills without going to a neurologist Some medicines like Propranolol, trihexiphenidyl and Primidone are used in an attempt to control it, but they can at best only control the tremors to an extent. Take them consulting your doctor. Hormonal imbalance like hypothyroidism leads to similar tremors .So checks your thyroid hormone level. Continue physiotherapy exercises. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care
