CBD OILw/lidocaine, roll on , Just check with your Doctor first, in case you might be allergic to the lidocaine Its topical you apply it to the knee. Do not injest it. The knee and shin are the only spots it has worked on for me

Maybe see an orthopedic doc for his/her opinion. I don't treat those often.

Dear Krisman, Be careful with lidocaine. I have 5% lidocaine patches which needs a script, 4% you can buy OTC. Too much lidocaine can stop the heart! As to the patches, no more than 3 on the body in a 12 hour period is what my doctor told me. .

Thank you for that information. Since I'm almost 80, it's hard to know if aches and pains are old age or PD!

I tried researching pain with shin and ankle related to Parkinson's and found "yes it can" but no real info.

Many comments about arthritis

Joint pain commonly occurs in PD, most frequently in the shoulder, hips, knees, and ankles.61 One caseā€control study reported that, after adjustment for age, gender, and previous shoulder injury, patients with PD were 21 times more likely to experience shoulder pain, highlighting the prevalence of this issue in the PD population.62 Joint pain tends to increase during times of increased immobility, such as during off periods, and females with PD report neck and back pain more often than males.61, 63 Virtually any type of joint disorder can be encountered in patients with PD, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, other connective tissue disorders, traumatic arthritis, Charcot joints,64 infectious arthritis, plantar fasciitis, temporomandibular joint disorder, bursitis, and others. Little information is available regarding the relative incidence of these conditions in PD compared with the general population. Prolonged flexion of the wrist due to lack of normal arm movements and body repositioning during sleep or because of dystonic posturing at this joint can lead to median nerve compression (carpal tunnel syndrome). Spinal arthritis may give rise to painful radiculopathies. Sometimes the pain, paresthesias, and dysesthesias caused by neuropathies or radiculopathies may be difficult to distinguish from nonmotor sensory symptoms of PD.

Sorry, good luck with your search.
