My Dad (who has PD) recently complained of a sharp pain in his left lung (same side as his tremor). It was so bad that he went to the emergency room and then was admitted to the hospital for tests. I don't remember what all they tested him for but found nothing wrong. They finally sent him home after a couple of days and said it must be a pulled muscle. I have wondered if it was PD related. (Like I have heard so many people hear say, "If you can't find anything else to blame it on, blame it on PD.) Any thoughts? BTW, welcome to the list Barry.
