Ginny, I am very active, but the other day at my boxing class I had knee and lower back pain so badly that I needed assistance getting up off the floor. That's never happened to me before.
Michael, I don't take any meds of any kind. Im on a heavier supplement regimen.

It could just be age. I have some arthritis, but I also get a lot of random pains that usually don't last long. Wearing old shoes can also cause a lot of joint pain. Keep exercising. That is the best thing you can do to loosen up tight muscles and lubricate joints.

Good that you don’t have to take PD medication yet or perhaps ever 🤞🏻. For me, as I age, I notice I’m usually sore after intense workouts….and then by the next day, I’m no longer sore. I too am very active, walk 1-2 miles 4x’’s/week and 1 hour strength and balance sessions 3x’s/week. I would suggest getting your doctor to look closer and determine the cause of your joint pain—could be simple wear and tear of your hip and knee joints—not PD at all. You can then take the right steps to address the root cause symptoms. Take care!

That's what I wonder sometimes with the pains, work related or PD med side effects, 🤔
