My right thumb has been tremoring sporadically over the last 2-3 months. i only notice it when i text. i'm extremely fit and active. parkinson's?

Tremoring thumb: PerC ~ no this would be an extremely unusual way for parkinsons disease to manifest. Since it appears to be so directly related to texting, have you considered that it may be an overuse injury? You will know for sure if you stopped texting for a week and see if this gets better. I am almost certain it will ! thanks
