Re: Tremor in hands

Hi Ursa,

I'm a physician assistant (PA), and I practice internal medicine. There are many types of tremors with various causes. If you are an adult and it is new onset, then evaluation by a neurologist is definitely indicated. There are multiple reasons and different medications that can cause tremor, too many to get into here, so my best advice is see the neurologist for consultation.

You could end up getting far too much incorrect information on a forum such as this by people presenting anecdotal experience rather than vital facts and information.

I, too, have a mild tremor that affects my playing if I don't treat it properly, but sharing my experience would not be appropriate as we could have vastly different etiologies.

The good news is most tremors can be controlled with medications or certain adaptations. Sometimes it takes a few trials to see what will work best for you, but your clarinet playing should not be severely impacted!
