If you search for “is pain a common symptom” on this site, Håkan Widner has previously written a detailed answer to that question. In short, pain is common in Parkinson’s, but it can take several different forms. The simplest explanation is that stiff muscles can cause pain, in which case optimising your Parkinson’s medication can help. However, there are also other causes that may require more specific treatment. /Dag Nyholm
