        I  experience  pain  in my right leg between the groin and the
     knee that appears to me to be  a  muscular  pain.   I  had  never
     thought  that  it  was connected to my PD but, instead, due to an
     old injury in the same general area that was deteriorating.  I am
     46 years old.

        My new G.P. prescribed Naprelan (375 mg) at two tablets a day.
     I take the prescribed dose every three or four days and it  seems
     to help the pain.  But, at the same time, I have also become more
     aware of the pain caused by the arthritis a previous G.P. said  I
     had  in the hip of the same leg.  The prescribed medicine doesn't
     appear to affect that pain (even though the  description  of  the
     drug says that it is typically used for arthritis).

        FWIW, my $0.02 today ...
