My husband has been diagnosed with Parkinson s Disease, also severe Degenerative Osteo Arthritus in his lower back but now is having severe pain in his mid upper back, complaining with some pain in the bones of both arms. And can not get any relief from the pain, except when lying flat in the bed. He is 65 years old and was diagnosed about three to four years ago. Do you have any suggestions to what may be going on? We saw his doctor on Tuesday and have a scheduled MRI this Friday.
Hi, thank for the brief history. Now as you mentioned Parkinsons disease and degenerative arthritis and good to hear you are undergoing MRI as well which will of help to come closer to any major issues if any is present. Well, I will say that, needs little mobility of the whole body. Try looking forward with Frankel exercise which is helpful for Parkinson's disease patients. Look forward with some graded exercise for whole body. Well, there is nothing wrong if you take a help from a physical therapist for the same. Personally assessing the patient with Parkinson disease is always helpful. So a physical therapist will be of great help to you. Thank you
