A member asked:
How can you distinguish the symptoms of parkinson's disease and symptoms of nerve damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Trauma to peripheral nerve causes local pain, numbness, weakness. Parkinson's, affects older males more than females, and is associated with resting tremor, gait imbalance, muscular stiffness, masked facies, perhaps loss of cognition, trouble swallowing, constipation, etc. A good neurologist can sort this out and direct therapy.
