A member asked:

My left hand and upper arm occasionally shakes out of nowhere, and today my right arm started for the first time. is this something i should be speaking to my doctor about? what could it be?

Definitely: These symptoms can be associated with a wide range of neurological or metabolic conditions. You should consult it with your treating doctor and if needed he may refer you to a neurologist and perform studies to make a diagnosis.

Why does my hand shake at a certain inflection point? When I stretch my arm slowly with palms extended, I notice that my hand shakes at that point and then movement is fluid/smooth again when I completely lower my arm to my side. The same with legs?
