Dear Cathy, Thanks for you reply, I have ran for about three years and did yoga for three years, just have not done either in the last 6 months for that was starting to take too much out of me.

I even had trouble bending to sit on the ground in the first place! I thought this was my PD symptoms that has weakened my legs. I have trouble getting out of the car and I am sure this is PD. I have tried to do exercises to strengthen my leg muscles and this seems to help. My knees don't hurt but they sure creek!!
