A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Stoke-on-Trent, UK

There are a lot of other factors I know; I was in a good relationship, in better health and had a good job. However, I'm increasingly running into space as a barrier… read more

In thighs in particular...does it make it hard to walk? Any sensation at all?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member
