My mother-in-law is bent forward. she has PD and arthritis also. The Dr.s dont't seem to have answers for her. Kind of like Yep you are bent forward nothing to do it's PD and/or Arthritis.

did the bending over happen quickly or did it take years? was she very active prior to getting pd? my husband became bent over very quickly and was a formmer marathon runner . i wonder if the bending over is because of the active life he has had.

i also bend forward ,but is not everyday,i also have arthritis in my lower back.i think its just a combination of pd,arthritis,and the lack of balance












i also bend forward ,but i am not like that everyday. i think its a combination of the pain from arthritis,and the pd,and then i also have pain in my legs . sometime its hard to tell where one pain starts and another one ends !

Whenever I am tired and do too much or am not feeling well I notice my posture is not straight, and my back and/or sides hurt. I am sometimes bent forward or sideways.

A stoop or bent over is a common symptom with parkinson's, I know I have a stoop. I find exercise is very beneficial in my over dealing with Parkinson's. I have to constantly remind myself to be erect with shoulders back to the point that it feels unnatural to me but to others looks correct. I check in a mirror. I also practice tilting my head back as far as possible. It's a constant fight but worth doing. Tell your hubby to try. Tom

I am beginning to be bent forward and with my knees bent. Have had PD for 5 years and before the PD I had a profession which required hard daily training.

My husband is bent forward. I think it is a parkinsons thing. he can't hold his head up eather. so he sits bent over and looking down. I hate it. I'm thinking of getting a strap around his chest and his wheel chair to hold him up. He said he would like that. maybe that would help.

hi there,
I am bent over forward and also to my right side. It is very uncomfortable and also most days painful.I also have arthritis in my back but also have had 3 back surgeries. I have been told the only thing that will help me is to be fitted for one of those hard clam shell braces. They are so uncomfortable I just don't want to do it. But other than that, I was basically told that was it for any help.
