  1. Hi Paul HH - Thanks for sharing! Have you and/or your wife been in contact with her doctor/neurologist about the burning? In the meantime, we have an article about Duopa here: https://parkinsonsdisease.net/clinical/duopa-pump-carbidopa-levodopa-pros-cons. Hope this helps. - Chris, ParkinsonsDisease.net Team

    1. Hi Paul HH - I am on a Duopa pump and the burning sensation became so painful that I went to the ER. I was fortunate because there was a doc there who had some familiarity with it. He fixed the positioning using an endoscope. This was 5 days ago. I am now feeling much better and the pump i back in action. Does she like the pump otherwise?
