Thanks. > > Sue W. 45/2 Although it is *almost certain* that your problem is due to PD, please remember that what you describe can also be attributed to obstructive arterial disease. People who have increased leg pain, after walking a distance, that decreases almost immediately with rest are symptomatic of such a condition. Considering your age, I doubt that you have obstructive arterial disease (unless you suffer from Diabetes), but I thought it was important to mention nonetheless. ------ Regards Mary Ann
