He has always had a little problem in the morning with a little shuffling with his feet, but once he wakes up he is usually ok untill today. Has anyone ever heard of this where the symptoms get better and are practilly gone then come back so quickly. Any help would be apprecaited!!!

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these.
