Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My hands tremble a lot, only when I write something. It causes a pain in my hand, so my handwriting is changing. So, I am not able to write properly during my exams, which is becoming a big problem for my studies. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concerns. I request you to record a video of the difficulty encountered by you and post it back to me. Take care to record activities which cause pain or difficulty in moving your hand. I also request you to take two separate photographs of your present and previous handwriting. This will help me analyze the situation better.

Thank you doctor,

I have attached the video that you asked for.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. Thanks for providing your handwriting sample (attachment removed to protect patient identity). From the available samples, it is clear that there is deterioration, but the disease process is still not clear to me. There is a need to examine the hands before we can make a formal diagnosis and plan the treatment. In the meantime, before you have a consultation, I will request you to reduce the stress associated with it, as stress will further complicate the problem.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
