Parkinson's disease is a movement disorder often characterized by muscle rigidity, tremor, a slowing of physical movement, and in extreme cases, a loss of physical movement.

New issue for me: I have a searing pain in my shoulder blade every morning when I wake up. This has been going on for 2 weeks now. The pain lessens as I start to move around and exercise, but comes and goes through out the day. I have also have what is like an electric feeling go down the same side arm off and on throughout the day. Don't know if this is PD related or not. It is on the side of my tremors and it feels as if the muscle in my shoulder blade is cramping. But I suppose it could also just be a muscle strain or pinch or something non PD related. I will see my Neuro in a week and see what he says.
Untill then, I am thinking of seeking help from a Chiropractor this week to see if it helps. I have used them at various times for similar problems years ago, and had good results.
But this got me thinking, has anyone had any experience with Chiropractors and PD related issues?

Unfortunately I have a similar issue....wish desperately that I didn't.
Tremor in right hand - excruciating pain in left shoulder. Go figure !
It takes a bit to get started and often struggle to shake the 'pins and needles' from my arm.
I see an Osteopath once a week who kneads my shoulder like a loaf of bread and does acupuncture also.
I am trying a tempur pillow that moulds to your head - I am hoping it gives me some relief cause it was ridiculously expensive.
I'd be keen to know how you get on with it.
Good luck

A caution for you: the good ones... the REALLY good ones... the ones who understand how bodies are put together and have the right skills to move things around... are scarce as hen's teeth. It can take a serious investment of effort to find them. You'll know when you do. Don't waste your time on the others.
Good luck.
