I’ve had moderate Parkinson’s for the past eight years. Has anybody experienced tremors in their feet?

I do not suffer from outward tremors, but I suffer from inward tremors. These tremors I can only describe as feeling like my inners are going faster than my outers. Does anybodyelse have this feeling?

Yes, I do. Botox injections have helped one of my feet. My ankle was turned over to a point where. It was laying on its side. I thought I'd turn an ankle, but this worked really well. I can feel the bottom of my foot after a number of years. Not being able to do so. Really crazy. I wish I'd known about that earlier.

Have you experienced tremors in your feet with moderate Parkinson's?

Yes, tremors in the feet can occur with Parkinson's disease, though they're less common than hand tremors. While tremors most typically affect the hands, they can also appear in other parts of the body including the legs and feet.

Have you experienced tremors in your feet with moderate Parkinson's?

Yes, tremors in the feet can occur with Parkinson's disease, though they're less common than hand tremors. While tremors most typically affect the hands, they can also appear in other parts of the body including the legs and feet.

In rare cases, Parkinson's tremors can affect the legs, which would include the feet. These tremors typically occur when the affected body part is at rest, meaning you might notice the shaking when your feet are resting on the floor or elevated, rather than when you're actively walking.

It's worth noting that tremors in Parkinson's are usually asymmetric, meaning they often affect one side of the body more than the other. So you might experience tremors in one foot more prominently than the other.

If you're experiencing new or worsening tremors in your feet, it's a good idea to discuss this with your neurologist. They can help determine if these tremors are related to your Parkinson's progression and adjust your treatment plan if needed.
