Hi,

Stiffness in legs, pain on getting up in the morning can be related to the problems in the spine, cord compression or so on. Hence it is necessary to have a clinical evaluation, examination and relevant investigations to get a proper diagnosis. Somehow this does not look to be related to Parkinsonism that you are suffering from.

Take the opinion of a Neurologist or a Neurosurgeon.
MRI of the thoracolumbar spine. These will give the cause and thus a guideline for further management.

Continue management for Parkinsonism.

Hope I have answered your query. Feel free to ask for further relevant queries.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant,
General Surgeon
