Is anyone experiencing back pain (in between the shoulders and up the neck) on the affected side (mine is the right side)?

Mine pain is so bad I am not working right now. Just diagnosed 5 months ago and have done acupuncture, physical therapy, repatterning therapy, massage.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to alleviate the pain or is this just part of having PD?

My mom has it only because she fell and fractured her spine. I would think having PD would cause lots of aches and pains everywhere on your body. The shakes alone would cause soreness from all that repetitive movement.

My husband is 56 and has been diagnosed about 2 years. We are grieving ourselves to death. I believe cancer would be better - you live OR you die - this slow (or not so slow) wasting away is pitiful.

My husbands still works. We have a chiropractor that is using laser? He also has my husband crawl 5 min. twice a day, stand flat against the wall (to get your head and shoulders straight) twice a day for 5 min. We did serious Yoga & he did get more flexible but stayed sore and complained. We have done acupuncture, some Tai Chi, massage as well.

Are going down to Naples, Fl in three weeks to start IV Glutithion or something. It is not a drug - we are staying off all those - but a more natural amino acid that is suppose to help the PD

He is having such trouble with loss of voice, tremors (business luncheons when all he can think about is balancing food on his fork), fixed expression, excess saliva, rigid body and SLOW

I have been trying to get a doc to pull together all my symptoms and see if any are related or if there is an underlying cause and keep coming back to Parkinson's . How does it feel, how often do you get certain symptoms, which ones are constant and who diagnosed you? I am in Lake Wales (Polk County) Florida, but planning on moving to Kent in Washington State if that is near where you get help or have docs.
I truly sympathize and send as much positive good healthy feeling as I can muster and send it out into the ether and hope it finds you : )
