hi,

thank you for your help in providing the brief history of your mother.

since it's parkinson and she is already seen by a neurologist who has advised to take syndopa. it is a symptomatic way of dealing. Since you mentioned about the rigidity she has is not loweing down, why don't you take a discussion with a neurologist and take some guidance of having physcial 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 physcial therapy. So the first line after syncopa I prefer to advice for physical therapy.

with the grace of God I wish your mother a speedy recovery
