A member asked:
I want to be a podiatrist and i know they perform surgeries, but i've always had shaky hands. what can i do& should i still pursue this as my career?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shaky hands: might be a problem for a podiatrist. Have you tried to get the tremor fixed? (You might consult with a neurologist) Hyperthyroidism, can cause a fine tremor and that is usually fixable. Other types of tremor respond to medication or other therapies.
