Parkinson’s is a Pain!

Posted bykiwipommysuePosted inHard times, Symptoms, UncategorizedTags:, ,

So, I’ve discovered a new symptom that I wasn’t fully aware of previously.

I awoke this morning about 5.00am with excruciating pain radiating down my left leg. It was something I hadn’t experienced before and I wasn’t sure if it was Parkies or not.

As you do, I looked it up online and apparently pain is part of the Parkies package, right from the early stages. So – Oh joy – I’ve found another ‘delightful’ (sarcastic) aspect that I hadn’t considered would be part of this journey. I work in a Neurological ward and asked a couple of people and they confirmed that Neuro pain is very much an unfortunate part of this condition.

So, just another thing to get to grips with. Bring on the pain killers! Hopefully, the pain of this morning will not be too regular a thing though…

I am a retired Social Worker having retired in May 2024. I had been a Social Worker for over 20 years and for the sake of my health and wellbeing I chose to retire early. I have some literary projects underway and am enjoying the freedom of no longer working. Working on my projects at my own pace and enjoying my new hobby of lawn bowls is a wonderful thing. No regrets and a new kind of busy in retirement is wonderful.
