>I’ve read that a “frozen” shoulder is a common early symptom. This is the first I've heard of shoulder difficulties, although my mother, who had PD, had an awful time with one her shoulders. Noone ever put a PD label on it. My left shoulder has had limited range of motion and been quite painful for almost a year. It's been diagnosed as either tendenitis, rotator cuff problems or a damaged bicep tendon, but I've never had a joint carry on like this one does. I hope someone can elaborate on Susan's questions, and best of luck to you. This is a great resource place.
