Does anyone ever get tremors. Or shaking in your hands and body? Im not sure if it might have to do with my cervical kyphosis. Another name for that is called military neck. Its where your neck is straight where its suppose to have C curve. It causes my hand numbness. And makes it hard to use my hands. They get really swollen.

Members connected over the frustrating experience of tremors and shaking, sharing a range of possible causes including cervical spine issues, medication side effects, anxiety, benign familial tremor, and potential neurological conditions like MS. Several members described similar symptoms of hand numbness, swelling, radiation pain down the neck, involuntary movements, and the exhausting cycle of being dismissed by doctors who attribute everything to anxiety or weight rather than listening to legitimate concerns. A recurring theme was the struggle to find answers and proper diagnosis, with members advocating for physical therapy as helpful for some, while others expressed deep frustration with medical professionals who minimize symptoms or pass patients between specialists without meaningful investigation.

I have suffered with tremors since I was a child. They get worse if I am tired or stressed, also hand tremors increase if I am doing anything small ie: sewing beading or untangling a chain. Mine is caused by Benign Familial Tremor which is an overload of electrical impulses in the brain. Hope this helps!

My neck is similar to yours, I get the radiation pains down my neck into my hands. They thought I had carpal tunnel and did the surgery and went to a hand clinic after they did carpal tunnel surgery which made my hand pain worse. I started getting phys therapy, which helped my hands to get better.
