Anyone have pain with their Parkinson’s? Remedies?

My experience has been that most Neurologists will tell you that there is no pain caused by PD, it says so right in the text books. Most people with PD will tell you a much different story. Don't bother trying to convince your doctors, this is one of the main things that cause Parkys to loose faith in their neurologist.

Muscle cramping , toe curling , arms aching from shaking, muscles deforming spine , it goes to be a big list. Some people find pain relief in medical Cannabis and its oils. I will try it again.

Hi there, oh yes. A hell lot of. Allways in one joint, leg, arm, shoulder, back, lasting about 3 months, then changing to the next joint...therapy: moving, relaxing, Massage, less stress. If still bad or worsening: Ibuprofen 600mg... for me pain is the main symptom of PD. But nobody experiences the same. Take care!

I get super-painful cramps in my abdomen and calves. Stretching doesn't seem to help.

Interesting, I definitely have pain. My day starts with pain and I get my relief from my first dose of l/c. I would say the pain is most difficult symptom that I deal with. The article below on Parkinson.org describes the pain that can be part of the disease.

I can't believe doctors still don't know that pain is a big part of PD. I think if you have a doctor who hasn't taken that on board it's time to get a new doctor. Without the pain this would still be unpleasant but the pain is definitely my worst symptom. When I'm off I'm weak as a kitten and utterly useless but I could put up with that to a certain extent if I weren't also in agony a good deal of the time. My PD meds are the only thing I found that helps so far. And they are getting less efficient as time goes on.
