This occurs after lying down or sitting for awhile. As soon as I get up it's excruciating to put my feet on the floor and walk. After approximately 60 seconds, I am fine. Last summer I went from walking 3 miles a day too barely hobbling along. It's still the same today and I don't know what to do about it. All thoughts and ideas appreciated as I am so puzzled by this. Not to mention gaining weight ☹️

Diagnosed in 2018, this just started about six months ago. Is leg pain, not cramps, but burning sharp pain?

I have had many falls. Only bad result so far (outside of bruising, soreness) is a broken rib. Chiro has me doing balance exercises next to a door/wall, standing on one leg at a time. PD exercise leader suggest wrapping/tightening leg and butt muscles as much as possible on the standing leg. Other leg is held off the ground/floor as long as you can maintain balance. Look straight ahead (I almost always look down.)
Does anyone have a way of balancing they'd like to share?
Got it; understood. And thanks, TeresaAnnBakerCarl!

We got a tempur pedic and that helps. Hubby sinks into the foam like a mold and finds it hard to move around. Keeps him from flying out of the bed from the vivid dreams. Plus I’m getting much… read more
@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, i was going to suggest bar of soap. My mom and one of my friends both swear by swear by it. If they have leg cramps they usually discover soap feel out of bed.
What tips or advice can you give to someone suffering with Parkinson's who sometimes struggles to pickup a cell phone and struggle to input the initial screen unlock code? I have friends who say: "If you need help with anything just call." I find that an impossible task at times. Thoughts? Ideas? Tips? I guess I may have to become friends with Siri first for my iPhone.
We were talking about Alexa at our last local Parkinson's support group meeting. They say it's like having a third person in the house. My wife and I have been reluctant to go there yet as we don't… read more
