I know that stiffness may develop but is anyone like me a bad shopping cart.? I think I am heading straight on but I seem to veer usually to the right. I also have this thing where I am landing on one foot and I slip and I land on the other. I don't know if any of you will understand what I am trying to convey in that last sentence but that has been happening more and more.

Thank you for your help

Doglady,This may be a balance issue which is not uncommon in those with pd.If you haven't done so I would contact your neurologist,and let him/her know what is happening.A medication change or adjustment may solve the problem.Wish you the best.Ed

Yes i would go see a doctor about it. I do know that it is common with pd to have your feet stumble each other. its like being pigeon toed like me my feet go in and i tend to fall. I am sorry that you have PD My grandmas mom had this and I am very sorry. I hope I dont get this I tend to shake a lot but I am to young to have this i am 17. But I know they will find a cure someday

Dog Lady- You have described exactly what has been happening to me. I tried to tell my neuro about it and she seemed puzzled. Have you found any answers/solutions?
