Linda - My first symptoms were neck/shoulder pain. I had a bulging disk - not unusual for a forthyish person. I have had epidural (steriod) shots in my neck. The relief lasted about 5 years but unfortunately that wasn't the whole problem. I was finally dx with PD and cervical dystonia. It is not uncommon to have both diseases. I see a movement disorder specialist and get Botox shots every three months in the neck and shoulder area. The chronic pain is still there and I use an anti inflammatory drug like Naproxen and/or sometimes Vicodine because it is very deep and painful. Massage therapy is good as is yoga. Feel free to contact me personally...I have been through it all for many years!
