I have been diagnosed with spinal stenosis and experience numbness across my shoulders. I also have essential tremors in right hand and leg. I am also noticing my coordination in my right hand is not good and am seeking alternative treatments besides taking Mirapex for the tremors. Suggestions?
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you.to begin with stenosis as you will be much aware of it. Because of the stenosis the symptoms are happening. What you need to try out now is the physical therapy. As with graded planning the strength, coordination and active lifestyle can be maintained. Physical therapist can help you with therapeutic ultrasound and TENS for your pain in the upper limb. Also then some exercises for the neck muscles and later on for the upper and lower limb will be implemented with simple, slow and steady plan. While understanding the science of alternative medicine and applied sciences physical therapy is the one more option you may try out. I have seen patients with spinal stenosis with same issue of stenosis. All have been benefitted to a good for their physical status. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery
