Marling.... Geee....I have no idea if your bursitis is related to your having PD or is co-incidental. As I stated in my original comment, I'd read the information about bursitis-like pain here on the list some time ago, and in my own case, it seemed to be right on the button. But truthfully, even THAT might be merely a coincidence... a quirk... because I have no concrete PROOF I can point to that POSITIVELY identifies the relationship between the bursitis-like pain and PD. If anything is true about Parkinson's, Marling, it's that what any one of us experiences with and from the disease is no guarantee that the next 100 people (or 300 or 500) will experience any or all of the same symptoms. And even if we do share some of the same symptoms as others, somehow they're STILL different .. unique.. to each individual. Perhaps this is due to the different drug combinations each of us seems to take, or maybe it's just the nature of this disease... By the way, Marling... I've never seen so many "Barbs" gathered in one place (if one can actually call our little corner of Cyberspace a "place") <tho I see it as such> before, so when a message is posted to a Barb without a last name or at the very least, the initial of a last name, it gets VERY confusing as to which Barb is being addressed. Speaking for myself, I don't keep a list of any past messages I've posted and tend to put them out of my mind once the message is posted. Sooo... IF I see a message referencing something posted in the past by a Barb, in my mind that might be ANY Barb from amongst the many here! (Hmmm... wonder if this is short-term memory loss?)

Barb, I'm not sure what you meant about PWP getting shoulder pain on the opposite side from the effected side. I've had bursitis in my left shoulder for more than 25 years. My tremor and leg problems are all on the right side. Is this related?? Or am I just coincidental??? Marling [log in to unmask]
