The physician is an orthopedic surgeon with a focus on surgical procedures and problems of the spine. In order to rule out Parkinsonism, he suggested that I see a neurology specialist. I do have Parkinson's disease. The neurologist recommended I have genetic testing for muscular dystrophy. A gene mutation, which is unrelated to muscular dystrophy, was discovered by the test. The camptocormia is growing worse—more hunched forward—and I am frustrated.

Oh, no! I'm so sorry you've had this bad news.

I believe I've read that around 40% of people with camptocormia also have Parkinson's.

Wishing you the best-possible outcome.
