No, the key symptoms are resting tremors, bradykinesia (slowness with movement), rigidity, a “stooped” posture and a suffled pattern of walking.
Knee pain can be numerous things.
Not commonly. Why would you think of this. Are you experiencing other symptoms like:
Speech changes
Loss of facial expression, or “masking”
Micrographia (small, cramped handwriting)
Difficulty swallowing
Drooling (Q&A booklet, see question 28)
Dementia or confusion
Sleep disturbances (Q&A booklet, see question 23)
Constipation (Q&A booklet, see question 24)
Skin problems
Depression
Fear or anxiety
Memory difficulties and slowed thinking
Sexual dysfunction
Urinary problems (Q&A booklet, see question 25)
Fatigue and aching
Loss of energy
Compulsive behavior
Cramping

Usually medication to relieve Parkinson symptoms are related to dopamine (a brain chemical) – the production or replacement of it.
If there is significant pain not helped by dopamine increasers, then they can prescribe other pain medications – anything from ibuprofen to tylenol to narcotics.
Try this:
There is a natural substance you can take that may make your knees stop hurting. It doesn’t taste very good, but it works!
It is called Certo Liquid Fruit Pectin. You take one tablespoon twice a day for two weeks. By the end of the two weeks your knees will have stopped hurting and won’t hurt again for a long time.
It replaces the natural cushioning fluid in your joints.
It is 100% safe because it is nothing more than fruit pectin which is used for making jellies and jams.
You can find it in the jello aisle at the grocery store.
I dont think so…. its called rheumatism…but its better if you consult your doctor about it.
Thank you for asking us at Yahoo but I would suggest you to consult an orthopaedic doctor.
