How can I deal with my shaking muscle problems?

When I perform anything "strenuous," I experience shaking and extreme trembling. A number of years ago, an infection began a major decline in my health. I'm working on a few things to get back to normal, but I've got an uncontrolled shaking problem when I crouch, squat, or otherwise use my leg and core muscles steadily for an extended period of time. Walking is possible, but it takes a long time and I occasionally need assistance. So, I'm hoping to get some practical thoughts on what might be going on because my GP has a history of misdiagnosis and prescribing dangerous medications, and I may bring this up with my doctor soon.

  • Muscle shaking during exertion is usually a response to an extreme level of contraction. So if you are quite weak it might not take very much effort to tire your muscles out that much. I think you would need to start with very low levels of exercises  and build up as it gets easier. If you have the money a private physio or sports therapist might be quite helpful, they can assess for muscular weakness and/or imbalance and give you tailored exercises
