4 Common Types of Leg Pain in Parkinson’s

One of the biggest complaints I hear from people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) is severe leg pain. As a fellow, if I had heard someone complain of pain in their leg I would not have thought it due to Parkinson’s.

My grandmother often complained of deep pain in her calves and in her legs which started before her tremors and shuffling were noticeable. Never did I imagine that leg pain would be a pre-clinical or early symptom of PD. I assumed her pain was neuropathic in nature due to her diabetes.
