Hematoma Above Right Knee, Taken Pain Killers, Taking Pletal For Opening Arteries In Legs. Can An Orthopedic Drain Hematoma?

My brother has Parkinson s Disease. He is 52, (same as Michael J. Fox), He was diagnosed in his late 20 s (same as MJF). My brother is no where near as mobile as MJF. He has been taking Congentin (and other meds). He tried Sinemet, but had very bad side-affects (seizures, hallucinations, etc.). Currently he walks very bent over, is very stiff and has to use a catherder (cannot urinate on his own). We family and I) are desperate for a better quality of life for our brother. I know there has to be other meds that will benefit for our brother.

in my opinion he is not tolerating the medicines as there are side effects you should consult orthodoctor to go for corrective surgetry as it is possible and if corrective surgery is done he may be out from side effects of various medicines
