Checking with your dr is always advisable, but I suffer with leg stiffness and I just keep working toward increasing flexibility and range of motion. I know it's hard and frustrating but motion equals life. Keep fighting.

Sounds like dystonia. You can get Botox injections into the muscles to relax them. Ask your doc.

Hi Stlane. , I have exactly the same problem. My right leg 🦵 is s painful when I try to walk, I can’t straighten it out. I did have my right knee replaced in 2018 but it didn’t cause a problem until about a month ago. I can’t put my right heel down especially when I get up in the morning. I’m now walking with a walker. Hopefully PT will help.

Hi I'm not 100% sure, but I have had a problem with my hamstrings being incredibly tight so it's very difficult to bend at the waist with straight legs. I'd recommend a physical therapist and chiropractor!

I also have the problem in my left leg. When tremorring, the tendons seem to be drawn up so I can't straighten the leg. It becomes very painful and cannot sit down. On!y walking will ease it but as you can imagine that isn't easy, although it must look comical. I walk sort of John Wayne style just after he gets off the horse.

It is random so I can't help you with a reason, just reassure you that it is not unknown in the world of PD. Discuss it with your Neurologist or Parkinson's Nurse , they may have an answer.

Sorry I can't be more useful with information.
