When I saw a movement disorder specialist I asked her about the pain that so many PD patients suffer. She said that it is not PD specifically causing the pain but that many PD patients also suffer from painful conditions such as arthritis, as mainenana said. In my case I have pain from fibromyalgia that has acted up ever since I was diagnosed with PD.

Hey all you wonderful PDers. I agree with everything each of you shared. But a cover-all answer is "Yes, I have experienced this kind of pain." And the truth is, anybody at least 50 years of age, has degenerative pain. We simply will wear out/down. Try to make/keep yourself strong with good food, exercise and plenty of rest. Oh yes...and plenty of TLC. :-)

May God abide in those tired bones of yours. Sterling

Hey.......whenever my back pain gets to an 8 on a scale of 1-10... call my orthopedist and have her do a Rhizotomy. This procedure cauterizes the never endings causing my pain and the pain is gone. It usually lasts about a year. It's great with no knife of down-time. Sterling
