Summary
A 52-year-old left-handed woman and driver presented with a one-year history of intermittent but progressive left leg tremor. Prior to assessment, the right leg had also developed an intermittent but less prominent tremor. She had no tremor when walking but was aware of the leg tremor on standing still. She had also noticed a left arm tremor, particularly on pouring liquids. A painful left shoulder had prevented her from lying on her left side in bed at night. She had noticed that dressing had become slower and more challenging.
