Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There are many causes of leg trembling., one of the main cause is when the nerves get damaged. When the Central nervous system is affected such symptoms may arise because of Parkinson's disease. Thyroid gland problems also may lead to such symptoms. However, it can be hereditary or because of some side effect of the medicines taken. You did not write anything about your past history regarding your ailments. No worries. You may need some nerve supplements. You should see a Neurologist & get all Nerve conduction tests done, you may also require to go through some blood tests, CT, MRI & EMG. In the meantime try to lead a stress-free life, slow walking can be of help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
