Yes, people with Parkinson's disease (PD) can experience pain in the hip and leg areas. This pain is often associated with the sciatic nerve, which starts in the lower back, runs through the buttocks, and continues down the leg. Many members of MyParkinsonsTeam have described severe lower back pain and excruciating nerve pain extending down both legs, particularly at night. This pain can be linked to muscle contractions and the rigidity of Parkinson's, which may create a trapped nerve.

I have torn both of my gluteus medius off the bone due to my gait and I have marfans syndrome which causes poor connective tissues one tore in 2017 as I was doinkickboxing lifting heavy weights and doing yard work and snow shoveling. After the repair iwas told not to do anything that will cause a tear bc it was wound be weaker.my gait became worse and I tore the other gluteus medius had the same repair
My pd wmas dropped worse and my recovery and ability to use the crutches for 4 months and having to move with a half body brace much harder and painful I was dyskinestic because of the medication that was needed to be able to move and not fall
I was given a spinal anesthetic bc it is generally safer for pd patients but it caused me to thrash around uncontrollably and they were unable to do anything that would stop and had use restraint to make sure that I was not able to hurt myself or crash to the floor 3 sets of restraint were necessary to hold my body until the seizure like movement stopped I was unable to do anything or even talk and lost all control for over an hour and then I was incubated to prevent my body from any possible movement during the Surgery
I woke up with massive swelling in the leg and my big toe had neurological damage and was locked in a down position under my foot it was not known for the 4 months after bc I was not allowed to bear weight
I had bot0x and med changes to treat the toe but ended up with the joint being removed and a rod placed to keep the toe from dystonia from occurring in response to the damage from the surgery or the reaction to the spinal anesthetic
It also has caused the iliac vein to become 89, %,blocked and compressed against my spine and my leg was swollen 3x the normal size
