Hello,

My dad had been diagnosed with Parkinson 7 years ago.
The most problematic pain he has, is a stron chronic pain behind the left leg's thigh, which makes it immpossible for him to sit down, so he is doing almost every daily activity either standing or lying down.
We don't know if it is connected to the Parkinson or not.. but he suffers a lot and feels helpless.
He went to many doctors who can not explain this, and he is searching for someone who has the same problem, so he can talk to and feel he's not the only person in the world with this...
Can someone help me with this or suggest something to do?

Thank you very much,
Tslil

It could be sciatic pain coming from his back. To test and get relief if it is his back, have him try this if he has not already.

Lie down on his back and lift the affected, bending and pulling it into his chest as far in as he can. He should feel the thigh are relaxing and pain decreasing. icing the area after the streches will also help, about 10 minutes only. See video below that may help him.

Hope this helps.
