Is Chronic Joint Swelling And Pain Due To Parkinson Disease?
I am Subra from Malaysia. Age 59, height 164 cm, weight 57 kg. Suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis since 1999. No deformation. Often have swelling and pain in all joints. Since last year I am unstable while walking, left hand and leg is weak and no strength. Left hand sometimes shaking. Two months ago doctor told it could be parkinson disease and gave SIFROL 0.375mg and JUMEX 5 mg tablets to take. So far no improvement. Do I really have Parkinson Disease?
