I am going on 70 in a few months. I have a sister who is 88 that has PD for years. She talked about shaking hands and arms, dizzy feelings at times, pain in her feet that moved up into her upper legs. She had falls at times I recall. The foot/leg pain turned in neuropathy (pain, numbness, hot, cold feelings, tingling and shooting electrical like pains. This started in her early 70's. Now she can't walk with out a walker and has assistance where she lives now. I started having pain in my feet after my 2nd organ transplant. I was 62. Now it has moved a bit up my legs into my shin area. I feel numbness, tingling, cold/hot, electrical type shooting pains at times. I gone to a few different different Neurologists so far but not conclusive reason for my pain and numbness. I now see a PD Neurologist just in case. I take Pregabalin daily and basically rub my feet in the morning and apply a heavy menthol product to my feet.

Hello @bobweller,

I'm interested in your comment about applying a heavy menthol product to your feet. How does that help?
