MY HUSBAND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE. HE HAS PERSISTENT PAIN ONLY ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BODY. IT STARTS FROM THE TOP OF THE LEFT FOOT AS A BURNING SENSATION. THAN ABOUT A MINUTE LATER HE WILL FEEL THE KNEE WITH PRESSURE. THEN HE WILL FEEL IT ON HIS LEFT HIP . THE BURNING SENSATION IS FELT IN THE JOINTS OF THE KNEE N HIP. COUPLE MINS LATER HE WILL FEEL HIS LEFT SIDE OF THE NECK TIGHTING UP . THEN HIS LEFT ARM FEELS LIKE IT GETS STIFF. THATS WHEN THE LEFT SIDE START GETTING ALOT OF PAIN N WEAKNESS. THE EXTREM PAIN LAST FOR HOURS AT A TIME. (CAN THIS PAIN COME FROM THE PARKINSON'S DISEASE?) ( IS  THERE ANY MEDICINE THAT WILL HELP HIM WITH THE PAIN?)

I am sorry to hear your husband is having such pain. Is he on amy medication now? Has he talked to his doctor about the buning sensation? The stiffness, tighting, pain and weakness I have experienced it can at times feel unbearable. There are anti-parkison Medications that will help. The medication with eating a healthy diet and lots of exercise for example walking, swimming, dancing, something that uses all your muscles will help.
However when he is extreme pain he should try very hard to relax every muscle take a hot shower, bath or use a heating pad, also I lay flat on my back and listen to soothing music. I hope this helps.

God Bless
