Thanks Barrry, I will give your suggestions a try. I wondered if it could have been something to do with the change to the new combined medication Stalevo. My brief experience with this tablet which combines contan and sinement in one was that somehow one or other of the constituent drugs was more or less effective. That's just my lay persons feeling - no scientific answer. Also thoughts of cardiovascular causes has been niggling me so id better have it seen to by a doctor.

Once i get up and move about it ceases. If I use a musckle lotion on the area it also disapppears quickliy. I tend to sleep on one side for 4 hrs then the other. My doctor puts it down to actvivty ie shaking while asleep or just lying on the arm for hours as I cant/dont roll over in bed Maybe try lotion before bed and when you wake up and try sleeping more on your right side and shake your arm when you wake up. Only you can be creative and find your personal solution as every parkie has their own set of symptoms.Youmust try different scenarios with a log book by the hour thar records what you have done. I believe a pattern will emerge.ONly you can do this Let me eknow if any of above works Barry Black ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chandrashekhar Nagarkar" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2004 3:33 AM Subject: Pain- back left shoulderblade down my left arm and hand > Does anyone have any experience of pain starting from Left shoulder blade down my left arm and hand.
