Does Anyone Out There With PD Have Leg Pains At Night? The Top Of My Legs Seem To Ache About 3 Or 4 Nights Per Week.

I also have occasional leg pain. I take 10 mg of Melatonin before bed. It helps.

Several months ago my thighs would ache really bad at night. Almost like cramps. I flexed those muscles as tight as I could several times in a row and used ice packs. It helped. Haven't had them for awhile. Did have a bout with sciatic back/leg pain. Lasted couple weeks and then went away. Hasn't been back again. I think the thing they show on tv with the band right below your knee probably works. I used an elastic support I had that fit over my knee and lower thigh. It seemed to help chase off future symptoms.

Hi Jean,
I cannot answer that question for you only my hubby can as he has P.D. but I do know for a fact walking period seems to bother his feet, legs, etc. And then he has to rest, basically lie down. Hope you get some good answers for your question. Hope you had a good day. Take care, BFN!β€οΈπŸ€—πŸ˜Š
