Hi Elaine,

I've had 4 knee replacements and one broken ankle.

I know that they are Parkinson's related.

Love, Jeri

Hi Jeri and Jeannie,, have a terribly swollen and fluid-filled left knee. It is probably from years 25+ of exercise and a pre-existing scoliosis. My rheumatologist noted that I also have severe osteoarthritis.
I have done some research which reports that PD pts do not do well after replacement . So I am afraid to go down that path. What are your experiences? Thanks for any help. Andi60

I have had 2 knees and 1 hip replaced - mine are just from living a long life not from Parkinson's. Guess they can happen from various causes.
Love Jeannie

Since I’ve been diagnosed both of my shoulders have been replaced. They have been a problem but as things progressed they worsened. It could be stiffness or injury it could be both.

How did they get so damaged? From falling?
