The leg pain is a problem independent of Parkinson's and has to be dealt separately

Dear history is suggestive of a lumbar canal stenosis, it causes the muscle to have contracture and radicular pain over the nerves which are compressed. You need to have your mummy undergo a MRI scan of Lumbosacral Spine with whole spine screening, thus we will have a diagnosis of spinal cord compression level. Since she is having Parkinson's brain imaging is must (hope she has underwent the study before the commencement of treatment )
