doctor, my mother 80 years was daignosed for parkinson. she is taking syndopa CR125 thrice a day, but still she has got lot of rigidity in her body which makes her difficult to walk and stand. Her hands are shaky but can still hold the glass. Lately she has developed allergy to some medecine and got red rashes in her hands and legs. Her face and legs have swollen a bit. Kindly suggest me what is to be done to take her out from this condition.
Hi, thank you for your help in providing the brief history of your mother. Since its Parkinson, and she is already seen by a neurologist who has advised to take syn dopa. It is a symptomatic way of dealing. Since you mentioned the rigidity she has is not lowering down, why don't you take a discussion with a neurologist and take some guidance of having physical therapy for your mother. Most of the patients respond well with physical therapy and gradually the rigidity and tremor comes down. I have seen many Parkinson cases getting helped by the physical therapy. So the first line after syncope I prefer to advice for physical therapy. With the grace of God I wish your mother a speedy recovery
