The dr. said it was arthritis and had me on anti-inflammatory meds (before dx of PD). My brother-in-law told me about a MLM that sold health supplements including one called "The Great Grape Scavenger" which they derive OPC from grape seeds. I took 3 per day and after one week the pain and stiffness was gone. (I discontinued the anti-inflammatory) I didn't think that they would work, but it did for me. It hasn't made any difference in my PD symptoms but as long as I can move my fingers with out pain, I'll go for it. I was in the MLM for a while but am now out of it for personal reasons. (yes, I did make money in it). Hope this answers your questions Brian. Jon Meyer 40/1 ([log in to unmask]) another Hoosier
