This week all of a sudden my knee wants to go out on me. It’s never happened before but I have to be careful how I step. Anyone else?

Members responded warmly to a question about a knee suddenly giving out, with many sharing that similar issues are connected to Parkinson's, including leg weakness, wobbling under stress, and balance problems triggered by sudden sounds. Several members offered practical insights, including seeking an orthopedic doctor, exploring nerve ablation procedures for arthritis-related knee pain, and trying to minimize stress to reduce symptom flares. A recurring theme was finding community and even humor as coping tools, with members encouraging one another to keep advocating for answers and stay hopeful despite mobility challenges.

Parts of me go out more than I do....I'm sorry, sometimes I choose humor to keep from losing my mind and exercise being in a "good" mood.

LisaRiley, I have knee issues that are Parkinson's related. Under stress, my knees move, but the rest of my legs just wobble.

Your knee problem has nothing to do with Parkinson you need to see an orthopedic dr
