Question: Hi Dr Grief,
On 15th XXXXXXX I received a total right hip replacement and recovery has been going well with exercises prescribed by a physio gal. I am just about walking unaided without a limp. Have recently noticed a kind of tremor in lower right abdomen, never exp. before.
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.
