I have severe pain in front of thighs and legs. So fierce I can't walk and sometimes not stand. Does anyone else experience this? I see neurologist on Thursday

Yes the worst pain I've had since I started with Parkinson's is in my thighs basically in my right thigh!!!! When I first got diagnosed it was the pain in my right thigh was a aching throbbing pain It was unbearable. But that I got a shot in my back and I took care of that pain. The pain is getting back in my right thigh but it's a different kind of pain it's like tightness like somebody's twisting my muscles. And it's agonizing same leg. But my doctor prescribed baclofen b a c l o f e n 10 megs of it and it's a muscle relaxer and that seems to help and doing stretches. I never knew there was so much pain involved in Parkinson's. Good luck I hope this will work for you.

Seems like every morning when I wake up, I get pains in my ankles & shins that feel like the pains you get in your calf from a "Charlie horse". I can actually watch my toes curl under and my feet being pulled to the left. It's incredibly painful.
