I go to a chiropractor one a week. It helps to relieve the muscle cramps. A massage might help too.

I suggest you go see an orthopedic doctor. He can help determine if you need help with your hip and knees. I have had both knees and a hip replaced before I was diagnosed with Parkinson's. I currently am battling the other hip, which I have been told needs to be replaced, and expect to have surgery this fall. I am anxious to see what is actually arthritis and what are the effects from Parkinson's. Maybe therapy would help, or a massage. Good luck and I hope you get some relief.

I was interested in your knees; I had one replacement; the is going to the grave with me. I’m hopeful you don’t have MSA; I have had a dreadful year. I’m holding my own for the last 3 weeks, but that’s like saying since winter arrived the mosquitoes are gone. The mosquitoes go and blizzards arrive. I noticed on discharge papers from the last ER trip the diagnosis is autonomic failure. I could given them that diagnosis. Oh well, I’m still laughing, and that’s what I like. 🤗

This is a late posting to the question but may help some one. I have been going to pain management for 4 years. I have been able to postpone knee replacement surgery since getting Gelsym3 injections in my knees. One injection once a week x3. This has eliminated the severe pain and allowed me to be able to walk…pain free! I have had the radio frequency ablation several times with great results also in my spine/lumbar area and s-I joints. Pain management has came along way and many treatments are available besides pain pills. I hope everyone who is suffering with pain considers this to increase their quality of life! ❤️

Diagnosed 2o years ago with RA and a couple of months ago with Parkinsonism. It was suspected but not diagnosed. It is funny that all the time I had RA doctors wanted to relate any health issues on the RA. I too read that there is a higher percentage of RA causing PD and Osteoporosis. I am praying for you to get some relief from the injections and are able to get the ablation with great results! Hope you are having an awesome day! ❤️
