Does anyone have any experience of pain starting from Left shoulder blade down my left arm and hand. This started 3 or 4 days ago but has gradually got worse. It feels worse in my shoulder at the top of my arms It feels like the pain you get after a cholera inoculation' Can any one identify a cause for such pain. it is most uncomfortable and becoming unbearable. What is the remedy or cure for it? I am 55 diagnosed pd in 1998 I was on sinemet 25/100 6x/day and Pergolide 3 WEEKS AGO moved to STELAVO THE NEW COMBINED SINAMET AND COMTAN. Could any one throw any light on this problem please...before I scream!
