Strange as it sounds,right after my knee operation + my son's father in law's knee replacement was when we we're diagnosed with Parkinson's, Either way it's just bad luck,he's 70 I'm 72 iust in our golden early years.

I've read that Parkinson's can be triggered by a major physical incident. My started right after I fell and broke my ribs.

I sprained my ankle and fell hard.Symptoms began a few months later. Interesting that it was my left (affected side) ankle.

I started a resting tremor and then diagnosed with PD right after my first knee replacement! Wow! What a coincidence! Wonder what the connection could be, if any. They say trauma can trigger PD, and my knee replacement was the worst thing I had been through up until then. Makes you wonder, huh?

I am 72 and figure I’ve had PD since I was 65.

My parkinsonism started immediately following a bunionectomy. Others have posted their PD or parkinsonism started following surgery. I do believe PD and parkinsonism can be triggered by surgery.
