Hi Howard: Two of the (many) problems I have with PD are pain in my lower back and legs and feet swelling. The back pain isn't normal PD muscle spasm type but throbbing. Lower back pain and foot and leg swelling are recognized as possible (to me probable) results of Parlodel. I really can empathize with you, I just had a basal cell carcinoma taken off my neck and I'm getting pain in my shoulder, I don't recall having pain there before. It took three or 4 stiches to close the cut; I had a couple taken off years ago that left a tiny scar but this one... I'm drifting off topic, I have similar symptoms and fears, if that helps any. Good luck with your test, lmk the news, I'll be rootin for you. After all we can't have enough Harrington's At 04:53 PM 2/3/99 -0500, you wrote: >Greetings everybody, Every once in awile I surface.
