Hi Everyone!Had PD for 14 years. One symptom I find annoying and painful is muscle pain/spasms in my upper left arm. Any help for a remedy?

Sorry, no, I don't have a remedy.

I've been having some back pain, and your question makes me wonder if mine is related to PD. It's usually not sharp and localized. It's more general and fully across my upper back, sometimes just the right side, and feels like muscles are in pain, not as if it's a disk/spinal problem.

It pretty much happens late in the day, such as around 10 or 11 PM. I'm thinking that the ordinary exertions of the day (I'm just an office drone) at least contribute to causing the problem.

It does not have quite the suddenness of a spasm (like a calf cramp), unless they're some kind of slow-motion cramp, which I definitely could believe. When it starts, I can't do anything to make it stop except to lay down.

Aside from being in your arm, is yours anything like that?

I get a dull ache in my left bicep at random times throughout the day. It's not too bad---like someone hit me there (gave me a noogie, to be medically precise) a few days ago. My brainologist denies it;s PD related.

I have no solution to this. I ignore it and it goes away, like a telemarketer.

I get a frozen shoulder & had a few steroid injections, does help for a little while then comes back, but jab is extra painful. I got told a lot of pwp suffer from this!

botox injections help with that type of pain.
