I had a unilaterial (left side) Pallidotomy in Toronto with Dr. Lozano in May this year. My pre op symptoms were (in order of importance) Toe and Foot CRAMPING both sides at least three times a day lasting one hour Stiffness full body unable to turn or get out of bed myself same from a chair Trouble walking with occassional freezing My immediate relief came on the op table.....after 12 hours with any meds my feet were in a cramp.....with the turn of the switch on the equipment in my surgeons hand the cramping subsided....not to return even once even on the opposite side My stiffness has lessened to a very great degree My walking and freezing are still problems but who am I to complain since the cramping
