Can a PD diagnosis stem from a previous injury?
First of all, I am trying to figure out whether or not a previous injury could exaserbate a PD diagnosis. I had an injury in 2005 (comparable to a torn ligament) in my hand. And now, in 2021, I am having noticeable shaking in the same hand. Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Thank you all.
You are best to check with your doctor. Some injuries to the head I.e. athletes can lead to Parkinson’s. Probably not a hand injury. Again, it’s best if you have an evaluation done by a professional medical personnel.
Best wishes and let us know how it goes.
