Sorry to hear about Brig, Gerry.
I would suggest a visit to a neurosurgeon that specializes in backs.
About 7 years ago, I had pain in my hip and leg so bad I was scooting on my
tummy to get to the bed to the bathroom and ended up with back surgery -
although it was a slow progression to get to that point.
That solved it all until just recently when I started "training" to
walk a 5K to raise money for HAPS (Houston Area Parkinson Society) and
irritated something and started the pain up again.
Don't put it off to PD...get it checked out.
Good luck,
Nina

Subject: Pain in the legs
Most of you know me, Brig has had PD for 17 years and has still been able
to
walk somewhat. All of a sudden, two weeks ago, he developed severe pain
in
his legs,(he has fallen quite a bit lately), and he can't get any relief.
I
have called neuro, here in town, Philly, and our internist who he has
seen. All
blood work has come back fine, so I am at my wits end. The pain is so
great,
he can't walk....., we are still trying to find out something, nothing
yet......Does anyone have any ideas why this would come so suddenly out
of the clear
blue, I understand slow progression, but this is something else. I also,
am
really up on a lot of stuff, but this one has me stumped.
If anyone has any ideas, please e-mail me.
Gerry
