Pain
Hi, my name is Bill I was diagnosed with PD about 7 years ago. I had problems accepting the disease thinking ha I don’t have PD. But now I have balance issues and I stumble and fall easily. I have problems communicating with other people, it’s like they don’t hear me. As for pain, I am hurting so bad from my neck to my left hip and numbness down my leg to my foot. I can hardly walk with the pain. Sitting down feels like I am sitting on a lump and causing my leg to feel numbness and I drag my foot when I walk. If this is part of PD, I am not liking it. I can handle most of the pain other than my neck. I cannot find a way to sit, stand or sleep without it hurting. Am I the only one who is suffering like this and is it really a part of the disease?
Hi
so sorry to hear about the pain you are experiencing. I know community members have mentioned experiencing pain. Hopefully others with any related experience will respond soon. If you haven't already, I would recommend reaching out to your physician. As we always recommend reaching out to a doctor with new or developing symptoms. In the meantime, I shared an article on pain and PD - https://parkinsonsdisease.net/symptoms/pain. I also included an article written by a fellow PD patient and his experience with managing chronic pain - https://parkinsonsdisease.net/living/dealing-chronic-pain. Wishing you some relief.
