I am fortunate that my PD pain so far has been due to sore/stiff muscles and joints and I’ve been able to relieve them (for the most part) by regular exercise and movement. Now with exercise comes a good kind of soreness…or better kind of soreness that is much easier to explain 😉.

There is no shortage of pain with Parkinson’s, and there are many different ways to deal with them. Ask about some specific pains and many people will share what they have learned.

Most of my pain comes from a hip replacement I had several years back . 1/2 of an 800 mg ibuprofen keeps it under control under my PCM supervision.
