Can Parkinson's Disease Cause Weakness In The Fingers?
Question: Can Parkinson's cause a reaction with local anesthetic such as used in carpal tunnel surgery, possibly causing semiparalysis of fingers
Brief Answer:
Not associated with parkinson's disease
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Parkinson's disease is associated with rigidity, tremors and slowness of activities.
Weakness observed in a limb may be due to rigidity rather than motor weakness.
Parkinson's disease doesn't lead to any reaction causing limb weakness.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
