He is getting Physical Therapy on a regular basis but his hamstrings often still feel like they are on fire. We know it is from his bent over posture and the progression of the disease. He is stiff, rigid, slow and often freezes and needs wheelchair. I saw one person on this site tried Botox. Anyone else have really bad hamstring pain, like 10 on the scale of 1-10??
