I have another question to pose. My mother (Joyce, 67/5 months) has experienced most symptoms on her left side. For the past 2 days now she's been having a lot of pain around her right shoulder. She was evaluated by someone today to start an exercise program, and he noticed a slight black-and-blue mark near the shoulder. Also, a few days ago, she was cleaning out a closet and did a lot of reaching. Do you think the pain is most likely an injury or does this sound like a PD-related symptom. I don't want to attribute everything to PD, but when/how do you know?? Thanks in advance. Debbie White [log in to unmask]
