Parkinson's Symptoms & Pain

Parkinson's disease, a paralyzing disorder stemming from a lack of dopamine to the brain, projects clear and distinct symptoms. Parkinson's often evokes painful symptoms, which can disrupt one's motor skills, muscle movement and speech clarity.

Tremors

• Tremors remain the symptom most widely associated with Parkinson's disease, particularly those which may occur in the hands.

Limited Motion

• Other such symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease include limited motion capabilities, such as difficulty walking, the inability to gesture and stiff muscles, the latter of which can sometimes lead to severe pain.

Speech Difficulties

• It's not unusual for those battling Parkinson's disease to develop such symptoms as slurred or severely affected speech, including repetition of words, stuttering or a low speaking voice.

Stooped Posture

• Stooped posture remains another prominent symptom of Parkinson's. Pain throughout the body, particularly in the back, or an inability to remain balanced may follow as the result of such a symptom.

Dementia

• One of the final stages and signs of Parkinson's can be exhibited in the form of varying degrees of dementia.
