I am so sorry your husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's. Thank you for replying to my question.

We found out my husband had PD after my husband had several Injections from the Pain specialist . The injections didn't work and he sent him to a back surgeon. After doing X-rays and MRI scans the Surgeon said his spinal stenosis didn't look that bad but he thought he should get checked for Parkinson's. Well here we are. That surgeon was correct!!!

Parkinson's can make existing back issues worse. Stiffness, the hunched posture, and lack of exercise all make back issues worse. My husband was helped by PT, but hasn't kept up the exercises so his back is bad again. He is starting Rock Steady Boxing soon. One of the things they focus on is core strength, which he needs to work on. A weak core makes for a sore back.

I find that I frequently have back pain and neck pain with my Parkinson's. This is also true of one of my friends with a disease. I usually take just Tylenol as I don't want to begin depending on something stronger; I also try to rest if I'm having an off day with pain.

Tammy,
My wife has Vascular Parkinsonism which has similar symptoms like PD but has movement issue primarily in the lower body area. She is 76 years old, and has had 5 spinal fusions over her lifetime .
Since her mobility has diminished since VP disease set in , she spends way more time sitting and almost no time upright. Her back pain has definitely increased, coinciding with her VP and immobility.
We thought the pain may have been coming from her previous back fusions , but a top back surgeon assured us that is not the reason for her back pain now.
We then asked the neurologist that diagnosed her if VP could be the reason for her back pain. He said no, that wasn’t a symptom.
My feeling is that her many hours of sitting each day has a lot to do with her back pain increase. I generally do not have back pain. But since caregiving started for me, I find myself at staying at home a lot more, and I’ll get back pain from sitting so much more now.
A Pain Management Dr recently prescribed a new medication compound, as nothing else was working to reduce her pain. It’s been two weeks, and so far it has helped . The Dr said it should take 4 weeks before evaluating it . So we are hoping it will continue to work and possibly get better.
I don’t know if any of this information will help, but given our neurologist stated that her disease isn’t the source of her back pain, I thought I would tell our story.
Wishing you well, and hope you find a solution.
Best
Terry
