Working arm shaking
My dad last the use of his arm a few years ago. He has managed very well, and hasn't let it hold him back.
The problem now is that his good arm and hand get terrible shakes, so that he spills food and drink. Could this be because he uses the good arm to do all the work? Or is there a more serious reason for the shaking?

Dear Concerned
Thank you for visiting health24.com. I apologise for the delayed reply.
It is possible that the shaking of his functioning hand is due to muscle fatique. Please therefore, be so kind as to advise me about the following:
1. What the reason was for the lost of function of his arm?
2. How old is he?
3. If any, what medication does he take?
4. Does he have any chronic diseases?
On receipt of your reply, the matter will receive my urgent attention.
KInd regards
