Could On And Off Trembling Thumb Be Related To Arthritis?

Years ago I noticed that my thumbs (starting with the left) would tremble when in certain positions i.e. when I d hold a piece of paper a certain way it would tremble. It seems to be getting a little more noticeable lately but not yet noticeable to others (or they don t mention it). Since 2005 I ve suffered from severe sleep problems and depression. I also have rheumatoid and osteo arthritis. Anything sound connected?

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Nothing abnormal sounds after hearing your history.

Some amount of tremors or you can say movement is common and it can occur in everybody. This is the reason everybody is not noticing it.

If you are patient of depression and sleeplessness than might be tremors are more in you.

I advice you to take clonazepam which gives symptomatically relief from the sleep and depression. Please take it with due consultation from the doctors.

You need good psychiatric counselling. This will help you remove depression. So please visit the psychiatrist to help you further.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
