Can parkinsons disease can be developed through because of a sprain or broken bone?

---

I was wondering, my wrist strains, and if i lift heavy wait, it hurts again, and cracks.
If i keep on wieghtlifting could it turn to parkinsons?
As you have already read, Parkinson's disease is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease with both motor and non-motor symptoms.

Although the specific causes of the chemical changes in the brain are not yet completely understood, they most certainly do not appear to be related to strains, sprains or cracks/breaks of bones.

You would have a risk of developing arthritis, however. Specifically osteoarthritis (as rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disease)

On the other hand you were weight training in order to wrestle or box or play any number of contact sports where it would be possible to get a severe head trauma, it is possible that the type of injury you would get during training or a game could create the lesions in the brain which could ultimately lead to parkinsonian symptoms.

You should be protecting your wrists while exercising and also making sure that you do proper warm-ups, have a balanced and healthy diet. Do not over-do it. Work your way up on weights and make sure that you are using proper form for lifting.  (+ info)

Can parkinsons disease be passed down to you?

My mother suffered from parkinsons disease, and i have recently experienced tremors, does it have any relation?
parkinsons can be passes down to you. i think its like a 50/50 chance. i wouldnt worry though. In order to get tested, i believe you have to have a pshych evaluation so that they know whether or not you can handle actually knowing. Dont wory about it though, live your life. See a doctor if the tremors continue or get worse.  (+ info)

What can my grandfather take for a sinus head ache, when he takes medication for parkinsons?

---

Please help.
My grandfather is having a lot of trouble. He went to the drug store to get over the counter medication since it is 11 pm here. But when we got home we relized he cannot take it. Since he is on medication for his parkinsons. I need to know what medication he can take that will not have any negative side effects with his current medication. Please help. Thanks
Wow that can be an unpleasant surprise but this is a problem. I share that issue when I go grocery shopping, when shopping for OTCs for my husband.. One does have to be aware of drug interactions for PD

Not all Parkinson's disease medications are the same so to determine the best answer to your question we would need to know if your grandfather was taking a dopaminergic, an MAO inhibitor, a dopamine agonist, a dopamine antagonist, a COMT inhibitor or an anticholeringeric.

That said, if your Grandfather is taking a drug such as Selegiline- eldepryl (MAO-B inhibitors) he cannot take anything with pseudoephedrine in it - and that is a common ingredient.

He can use a saline nasal solution although I don't find those that effective. Another thing to consider is a vaporizer - Eucalyptus is an effective additive to assist breathing. It can be used alone or with camphor and menthol. Being able to breathe easily is often a problem which impairs sleep for PD patients. There are also eucalyptus room sprays which can be used.

Another vaporizer additive would be vinegar. Despite to salad aroma, this is an excellent natural aid to addressing symptoms and causing the sinuses to drain:

You are correct, he cannot take just anything so if in doubt, pick out a handful of medications and take them to the pharmacy and ask them to look up the contraindications. You must already have the list of everything your Grandfather is currently taking. It's good to keep this list updated because sometimes there will be supplements which won't appear on a prescription list and sometimes there are prescriptions for other conditions which might not be on the PD list.

In the future, whenever your Grandfather is considering an OTC (over-the-counter medication) he should take it to the pharmacy counter for review. Scroll down the next link for a sample of possible drug interactions under the heading: What other drugs will affect carbidopa, entacapone, and levodopa?
http://www.emedicinehealth.com/drug-carbidopa_entacapone_and_levodopa/article_em.htm

The medicine info for the product you are considering should indicate if there is a contraindication with an ingredient. But often there is no complete list on the packaging. Which is why it needs to be pulled up online - don't expect that the pharmacist will know it all off the top of the head.

You grandfather should also consider some high quality anti-oxidants as well as Vitamin D3 for both the Parkinson's and to assist in strengthening his immune system.

A nice cup of green or black tea with honey will also soothe his throat as well as providing antioxidants with the health benefits of honey. Just one thing about honey - you should always buy local honey if you are looking for health benefits. You can read about it below:

There are also some acupressure points that can help relieve blocked sinuses I like the ones at the side of the bridge of the nose and the one just between the upper lip and below the nose. There are also forehead points and a good one on either side of the cervical spine at the back of the head.

If used in combination these points can be very effective:

It is wonderful that you are involved with your Grandfather's care. I hope you will continue to be informed about his condition.  (+ info)

Do you know any known ways to ease Parkinsons?

---

Are there exercises, herbs, or ways to ease the attack of Parkinsons?
Deep brain stimulation. A brain implant device is now widely used to help control many of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The deep brain stimulator consists of a pacemaker-like unit implanted in the chest wall that transmits electric impulses through a wire to tiny electrodes inserted deep within the brain. The specific brain center that is targeted, the subthalamic nucleus, controls many aspects of motor function.  (+ info)

How are Huntingtons and Parkinsons alike and how are they different?

---

And what are some symptoms that one has and the other doesnt?
Huntingotn's is a genetic neurodegenerative disorder. Parkinson's is also a neurodegenerative disorder but not all cases are genetic, most are idiopathic and some cases are a result of head trauma.

HD becomes noticeable in middle age (35-45) but can appear at any age. PD tends to appear in older people.

An HD early symptom is random, uncontrollable jerky movement. In HD this is seen as fine hand tremor.

With HD there is pyschomotor impairment, cognitive impairment, neuropsychiatric symptoms (the cognitive problems often end in dementia), sleep disorder, rigid abnormal posturing. With PD there are also neuropsychiatric symptoms (can often lead to dementia), sleep disorder, impaired perception, dysfunction of the autonomic system, GI dysfunctions and ophthalmological dysfunctions due to the neuropathology of the disease.  (+ info)

What are 3 common factors in people without parkinsons disease?

---

There are several factors that are more common in people without Parkinson's disease and may actually protect them from the disease. What are the 3 factors and why do they seem to protect these individuals?
Well research shows that most do not smoke or drink- but I hate that one because most people who don't smoke or drink have that in common with every other disease. Those things just make you more susceptible to everything not just Parkinsons.

I can mention at least one thing. Dopamine levels in the brain. A lot of people don't know this but Parkinsons is actually the opposite of Schizophrenia. Parkinsons occurs when Dopamine levels are too low...Schizophrenia happens with Dopamine levels are too high. So if fluctuating Dopamine levels run in your family Parkinson's is a higher risk. Schizophrenics who take too much medication to lower their levels get muscular ticks like those with parkinsons... and those with parkinsons that take too much parkinson medication to lower their levels and control their ticks begin to see and hear things that are not actually there.  (+ info)

Does anyone have any tips for someone who has Parkinsons Disease?

---

I am trying to find some good tips for people who have parkinsons disease to make their daily routines easier....for example using silk sheets to help them get out of bed etc..
There is a ton of adaptive equipment out there now. I have a black and decker lids off machine to open those pesky pickle jars. The good grips line of kitchen utensils is really good also. A good occupational therapist can help figure what is needed for any task. Physical therapy or a regular exercises(especially stretching) routine also helps to maintain function as long as possible. Stay out of the wheelchair as long as possible. Use or lose it really applies.  (+ info)
