So I think it is only indirectly related to my PD. Sunday I had a busy day in the city and didn't use my cane all the time, and then driving home my leg hurt so much when I had to press the brake pedal, that I am starting to worry that in the future I might have trouble putting on the brakes.
That's my problem with the traffic. The constant stop and go movement from gas to brake and back. After awhile I'm pretty annoyed then get stressed and stiff. I'm getting to the point where I actually hate driving now and dread the every day commute.

I think it is more related to the PD because i was never like this before.
