How to deal with severe leg muscle pain?

For the past month, I have had excruciating pain in my right thigh after having squatted repeatedly in doing a video exercise for PwP. I can no longer walk without holding on to something or moving in my home in a chair with rollers. My MD has prescribed increasingly powerful pain killers but they haven’t eased the pain at all. The pain is so intense that I can’t sleep at night. Is there such a thing as Parkinson’s pain? I would appreciate any advice as I am getting desperate about living like this.

I have a similar issue. When I wake up in the morning, after first several steps, the pain starts and within a minute or so it goes up from 0 to 10. This pain is truly excruciating. It starts in my right buttock and radiates through the entire leg. Painkillers don't work. The only thing that works is to lie down as soon as it is possible and in 10-15 minutes the pain is gradually going away. Sometimes after this first attack I stay pain-free for the rest of the day. Sometimes I just can't walk for hours - any attempt to walk ends with this unbearable pain. Few days ago I increased Magnesium intake from 400mg to 600mg a day and started taking Metagenics MyoCalm Plus®. It is too early to make conclusions, but I think I feel better. I also sleep better these days.
