Thanks Joan for pointing me to these messages. I also have had excruciating pain in my right leg, beginning at the base of the buttocks and down to where the shin meets the foot. Had x-rays and MRI done, they show the curvature of the spine and some arthritis. I have been going to the chiropractor, and right now am waiting on a call from my GP to see which way he wants to go with this one. And I mean "Excruciating". ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joan Hartman" <[log in to unmask]> To: "Mario" <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 11:46 AM Subject: Fw: Pain in the legs > have you been reading the leg pain msgs like this one ???? > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Peggy Willocks" <[log in to unmask]> > To: <[log in to unmask]> > Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2003 1:07 AM > Subject: Re: Pain in the legs > > > > Gerry - > > I have had PD for nearly 9 years (young onset) but have had atypical > > progression from most (on again - off again control, bouts of severe > > depression, ec.).
