Does Parkinson's Or Its Treatment Cause A Stiff Neck Or Neck Muscle Pain?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

Lately I've had a really stiff neck. I used to get a lot of neck pain and stiffness, at the back of my neck, due to a whiplash 30 years ago, but now the stiff muscles and pain are at the sides and front of my neck as well. Might this be from Parkinson's or L-Dopa?

my husband gets botox injections in the area - back of neck muscles, shoulder blades - and BIG stretch exercises/therapy helps. check it out with your neuro if he can give you injections in that area - it can be given every 3 months and is covered by medicare plus secondary insurance.

GenovevaGalvez. Thank you for your input...really! It is very difficult to see someone else having problems, when you've (me) have always been the one with the illness and don't know the answer to their problems and pains. I can relate to horrific pain and I finally found something that helps me. I'm so glad the injections are helping you. I sincerely thank you that you responded to my old post, because it still matters. God Bless you and may you be having a good day!
