How Can Numbness In The Feet Be Treated While Suffering From Parkinson's Disease?
My wife aged 80 has had Parkinson's Disease for 18 years.
She is on Sifrol 1mg 5 hourly & Sinemet IR 1 tablet 5 hourly and Sinemet CR 1 tablet 5 hourly alternating.
Her slowness and 'freezing feet' are increasing and falls occur.
Are there any other treatments which might help her?

Yes, definitely. You can ask your doctor about drugs like Tolcapone/Entacapone or Selegiline/Rasagiline
