we just started learning suture technique last week. It was fun at the beginning but gradually it felt very heavy on hands and I wondered if there's a way to overcome it. I practice as much as I can to be familiarized again and again but the discomfort is real. And then I saw this! Can't put into words how grateful I am to have found your channel. Thank you doctors!

I started noticing hand tremors about 5 years ago while doing things like holding glassware or using utensils (some days it was more noticeable than others). And then I started graphic design school a couple years ago and tried to take up drawing to increase my skill set. Whenever I would start, however, my wrist and fingers would spasm when making certain strokes. It gets even worse after my wrist gets sore. I know a lot of people have shaky hands when they first start, but this feels more extreme than just shaky hands. I’m hoping to see the doctor to get an idea of what’s going on, but if it’s an essential tremor, will resistance training help? I don’t strength train at all, so I guess it could be muscle weakness.

Thank you!! Very excited to incorporate into my routine !!!

I'm a welder learning the process of TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas.) This process requires delicate manipulations. Not good for shaky hands. If the things in your hands touch, you get shocked. It hurts. Thank you.

I want to be a surgeon but when I hold things they have slight shakiness in them

That's interesting, because I've taken up cutting cabbage leaves for sauerkraut with a pair of barber's scissors instead of a knife. I've found that the tremors have slightly improved over the last few weeks and the cutting motion is getting easier because I am exercising those muscle groups in my right hand and arm - where I get the tremors.

Very well explained story. I wait impatiently for every upcoming story, May God bless you. As per story is concerned, we have not interference on nature rule. We should leave it to jungle Kanoon

[cekiert]

😂 I watched this cause my mig welds don't look like some piece of art. It's a combination of shaking, off balance, and welding sparks distracting focus from keeping the pattern consistent
