i have noticed that my hands shake sometimes. any suggestions as to what this might be attributed to? seeing as how i am a dental student, i need to solve this problem very soon...if possible.
I don't think that coffee is the problem here. My hands used to shake as well. Then I stopped doing crack. Now, only my nose bleeds sometimes, without warning.
Oh, a bit more..this may sound a bit mean, but it'll help..although you're dealing with a REAL patient, it helps to THINK that your patient's a plastic practice model.
And for sharing purposes, one of the guys I know has shaky hands cos he masturbates too much..that's the "underlying" cause/risk factor
But I'm not particularly nervous...I just get tired. I don't even shake while cutting sutures or (learning to) suture quite so much, since it doesn't take any muscle really...it's when I'm retracting for a while that things start up...and usually someone else then is suturing or doing some other delicate work, so it would probably be better for me to be still! At one point, my arms got so tired from retracting they started shaking even when I was just holding them folded across my chest and watching...(probably cause some resident noticed and took the retractor away from me!)
Then that is perfectly normal. Try carrying heavy boxes or hold a weight in a static position for an hour or less..your hands are bound to be shaky with anything you do after that
Yeah, I guess so. It just seems like it happens to me a lot sooner, with much less work, than it really "should"...I asked one or two of my friends on this rotation, also not-so-hefty females, if they have this problem during the surgeries we're doing now, and they said no. But what can you do, I guess...

i know that this site is meant for doctors, so....sorry but i have a problem. i'm only 14 and i am now entering my 3rd year of secondary school, junior cert year! i want to be a surgeon, and i think i would be a good one..... i got 100 this year in my end of year science. anyway, to the point, i noticed that i have quite shaky hands. i have asthma so i was wondering would the treatment for this be giving me shaky hands.... because there are like steroids and things in inhalers. this may not seam important to all of you but i have to decide soon what subjects to drop soon in school and i want to know if, is there any point attempting to be a surgeon with shaky hands.... or is there a cure.... please reply to this.... thank you
