 If the symptoms have been coming on slowly (days-weeks), this could be a nerve problem in the neck http://www.spine-health.com/conditions/herniated-disc/cervical-herniated-disc-symptoms-and-treatment-options . Either way an examination with a Dr is advisable.

Question 7

my left arm is shaking when it lifts weight and sometimes it shakes without lifting of weight and i feel it weakness.?

This may be a NECK: problem! Sounds like you may have RADICULOPATHY that is a pinched nerve (C6-C7) in your neck. The weakness is disturbing! Start with your Primary Care Provider who can do a neurologic evaluation and possibly refer you to a Spine Specialist or Neurologist!
Don't delay..the weakness makes this an urgent!

Good Luck!

Examination needed: Jittery or shaky movements in a new baby may or may not be normal, but it is hard to tell without examining the baby and seeing the movements. The best way to do this is to make videos of the baby&#x27;s movements and show the pediatrician, who can take into consideration the progress in all the areas of baby development, and decide whether the baby&#x27;s movements are normal or not. Examination is needed.
