How Do You Know Your Pain Is From PD?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

My husband is complaining of pain in his right shoulder. Says it is worse than any other aches and pains he has. I have learned from this site that pain, and perhaps shoulder pain especially, is common in PD. If you have experienced this, what did you do to rule out any other causes. In other words, how did you come to ascribe it to PD?

I agree -- get a diagnosis and ask for a script for Physical Therapy

I think with any new pain that lasts for more than a week or that is really acute, a doctor should be consulted. You don't want to ignore something that might be fixable or that could be the sign of something really bad.

It's a different kind of pain than a common pain.
