Dealing with pain

[Susan Schlager]

I give my husband back rubs for back pain. i also encourage good posture. I do believe that Parkinson posture exacerbates back pain. Are there other kinds of pain that people with Parkinson’s struggle with?

Recently, I started a medical cannabis treatment, and it’s been two weeks since I began using it. During this period, I’ve noticed a slight improvement in my pain and symptoms associated with Parkinson’s. I hope that by the end of this treatment, I’ll feel as good as possible.

I live in the UK, and I’m following the Parkinson’s disease medical cannabis treatment from Releaf, a clinic specializing in this, which handles everything online and delivers directly to your home. This was very convenient for me because I dislike hospitals, especially the atmosphere there.

I’ve included the link in case anyone in the UK is reading this and is interested in the treatment I used.

I usually go for something like ibuprofen or acetaminophen if it’s mild pain. But if it’s more intense, sometimes I use a heating pad or try to rest and stay relaxed. Everyone’s pain is different, so it might help to talk to your doctor for advice that fits your situation.
