I'm about your age and I have some pain in my PD shoulder as well. My advice to you is to seek out a good physiotherapist to set you up in routine of stretching and exercising. You might also try yoga or Tai Chi, I have no first hand knowledge of these 2, but they are touted as good therapy and the gentle stretch - mild exercise over the whole range of motion seems to be what we need. Whatever you do, ease into it. Gung ho and then hurt yerself is not the way. Is clickin' 'n snappin' PD? I doubt it. Is it cause for concern? Probably not, but check with the Dr. All the best ................. Murray [log in to unmask]
