Though there aren’t any tests to confirm Parkinson’s Disease so it can be difficult to diagnose it. But tremors and any weakness or loss in dexterity in the hands stay the most common symptom. Parkinson’s disease depends a lot on the age of the victim. The symptoms might vary from person to person, some of the victims of Parkinson’s disease find certain actions like their writing slowing down or start to find it difficult to write in general. 

It is possible that one suffering from Parkinson’s disease might find it difficult to spot these symptoms due to the gradual onset. In most cases, it’s the family members that are the first ones to spot the earlier symptoms. These symptoms could be a lack of movement of a specific limb or muscle. Stooping is another symptom that one might suffer from in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease. The body of the patient suffering seems to lean forward. 

The range of motion begins to halt as the muscles get stiff and rigid. This could be only on one side of the body and gradually affects the other one. Physical pain remains another factor as the victim of Parkinson’s Disease feels it almost all the time. 

This stiffness and rigidity of the muscles restrict the range of motion. The pain starts from one side of the body and usually affects the whole body after some time. Usually, the patients that go through such pain also experience sleeping issues, constipation and difficulty with smelling or identifying smells.  

As the muscles start getting stiff and the victim feels pain further slowing the movement. This makes simple tasks difficult to perform. One might not be able to walk fast as the steps become shorter when you walk. One might drag feet while walking and it may be difficult to get out of a chair.
