Gerry, I don't really have any other suggestions except that I plan to try quinine water, a suggestion from my sister, also a nurse, who has a chronic form of Guillian-barre and suffers from leg cramps/ pain, especially at night. (I was even thinking of adding some gin to my tonic water. ) ; )) BTW, I agree with you re: PD and pain and am sick of hearing how painLESS it is. When your muscles are all knotted up and in spasm it's damned painful. How could it be otherwise? Regards, Carole Hercun Gerry Haines <[log in to unmask]> wrote: I probably started the latest leg pain problem with Brig's severe pain in his legs. What through me was it was both legs, although I think PD progresses to both sides. We are going to a neurosurgeon in about a week, meanwhile he has been using Motrin and Tylenol to help with the pain. He had an MRI and it did show some things. but I don't know they were that severe. The pain has slowed down some, I still think it is related to PD, however, he has been falling lately and that's certainly not helping. What makes it so difficult, is by the late morning he can walk and usually able to navigate for the rest of the day. Out of ideas here, I think pain is much more of a problem in PD than is widely known..... Will continue saga when I know more.
