Q:How is Parkinson's disease diagnosed? My fiance experiences muscle stiffness and constant soreness, especially in his hands and legs and neck. He says this started several years ago. He also has "spasms" at night while he sleeps - his hand will twitch or sometimes his whole body shakes. He's not aware of them when they occur. Sometimes, the spasms are nearly constant.
