My grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease about 8 years ago, but now the doctors are saying he has progressive supranuclear palsy. He's been on Syndopa, but it seems to be making things worse for him. He used to take Ropark, and that was working well. Should we consider going back to Ropark instead?

I've been having full body tingling, muscle spasms, and neck and back pain that radiates. I'm currently taking neugaba 150 and dulot 30 but get really bad sweating and anxiety if I miss a dose. Should I see a surgeon or stick with medication management for this? Worried about being dependent on these meds long-term.

I've been having this tightness on the right side of my chest, and when I press on that spot, it gives me some relief, but then it just starts back up again. It's leading to some pain near my left chest too. I've had my heart checked and all the tests are normal, so now I'm wondering if this could be a nerve or muscle issue. Could you suggest any tests I should look into?

muscle strain take aceclofenac
