Hi agnes,

 

I don't know for sure, but I believe that tremors can start in any part of the body.  They just may be more noticeable in the hands.  Something that looks somewhat like a tremor in the legs is clonus which is a rhythmic beating (or bouncing) or a foot.  Clonus is related to spasticity.

 

It sounds good that the muscle spasms and pain in the legs have stopped, but dealing with the tremors must not be easy.

 

Is there something else that you wanted to know?  If so, please feel free to ask.
