Yes, the pain is mostly on my left side, just pushing a cart helps with balance, but my left arm starts throbbing with pain. Since I broke my right collarbone itās been really hard to putt my bra and shirt š on. I bought bigger tops and used front closing bras for I could be independent and dress myself. I had gotten up to 2 miles walking trying to work on 3 miles, but the pain has been to horrific! I was walking without my walker or cane inside the clubs indoor track. Iām going to try again in a couple days! Exercise is the only option to prevent the PD from getting worse, praying š for Godās intervention for blessings of healing and strength to move forward to a better quality of life!
I understand - my affected side gives me chronic, constant pain. I see a pain specialist along with my PD team at the Cleveland Clinic. The pain definitely compounds the depression and hurts the motivation to be active.
I have the chronic pain too. Movement Helps a tiny bit but mostly adds to it. I had a shoulder surgery almost a year ago it didn't work out now. I now need a replacement. It's my dominant hand and so using cane or walker doesn't work for me. I haven't been in a store for very long in over 4 years. It hurts to much to walk or stand for very long. PD just sucks and it comes with so many more issues than just the shaking or tremors. Neuropathy and balance go hand in hand for me also.
Today I don't feel too bad try to have a good day everyone š¤š¤š¤ and prayers š
Iāve not officially been diagnosed with Parkinsonās couple years ago. I did have a DAT test, which apparently was negative. However, I have many of the same symptoms of Parkinsonās so I can relate to you. I think the thing that is frustrating me most right now is my vision goes from blurry to Having floaters and I have trouble reading. This morning early when I got up, I see things on the floor that arenāt there like my cat and Iām so afraid Iām gonna fall over it. I have had several falls the last one in January. I fractured my left elbow, which is required two surgeries. I canāt write because my writing is illegible most of the time itās small and just really illegible. Iām going to call a neurologist today that I havenāt seen yet I have an appointment in a couple months, but Iām gonna see if I can move it up since I think I finally accepted the fact that I have PD thank you for listening. I hope your pain gets better. Hugs.
Thank @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member&4& such wisdom. I have nursed so many suffering people but you show great insight. You open my eyes and ears.
