Parkinson’s disease: The three symptoms found in the muscles warning of your risk
Rigidity, while seldom the main symptom early in Parkinson’s, is experienced as a stiffness of the arms or legs beyond what would result from normal aging or arthritis, said the Parkinson’s Foundation
The charity added: “Some people call it “tightness” in their limbs.
“Stiffness can occur on one or both sides of the body and contribute to a decreased range of motion.
“This can lead to problems with achiness or pain in the muscles or joints affected.”
