Hi all, I have been having trouble getting up from a squatted position on the floor, I need to get on hands and knees and hold onto some furniture to get up. My knees and leg muscles are hurting and cramping it is my thigh muscles that hurt. I called my nuro today and he is out on vacation but another nuro said it had nothing to do with my PD. I feel that they are wrong. I was DX in 1997, started to run and do yoga after that was able to run 6 miles aday no problem. Then it started getting harder to run and I would be all shaky for one and a half hours of yoga so stopped both. I have tried to run but pay for it later in the day. My feet drag on the floor for I can not pick them up to walk. So my question to you all is the sore knees and leg muscles go alone with this PD or not. I feel it does, I take .5 mg of Requip three times a day and two Sinemet 25/100 CR two times a day and feel that I must increases my meds. nuro did want to increases it six months ago but I said no would work with it. I will be seeing him some time in Sept or later.
