I have started to go to a chiropractor for my chronic hip and leg pain. It seems like I get this pain about every six months and it goes from my hip all the way down to the bottom of my foot. It feels like my leg is separating behind the knee, at the ankle, and where my rear connects with my leg. When I have the treatment my leg starts to shake and my pd meds don't seem to work for a time after. I know it must have something to do with the nerve endings. Does anyone else a problem like this. The chiropractor doesn't have any idea why it happens but he watches and can tell right when it starts. He is trying to find out why it is happening. He has never had a pd patient before. He is in sports medicine and works with athletes.
