Looks like spinal surgery to remedy my camptocormia. Spinal surgeon here says that there have been successful surgical procedures in Toronto but that there are definite risks. It is rather a major surgery and is fraught with peril. But I may roll the dice as my quality of life has deteriorated dramatically. Camptocormia keeps me bent over while standing or walking. This has a drastic side effect of crushing my lungs for which I am using three puffers. And lungs are a perquisite of life. If you can't breathe easily, it impacts on other aspects of life. Anyway, I said I would put up posts every month or so in the hopes of hearing from others with the same PD complication. Decision time for me will come probably this fall or winter.
