Getting Heavy Stifness In The Right Side Of My RIB Which Reduces The Off Period. Someone Suggest Ways To Counter This?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Atlanta, GA

My "Off period" which warrants next dose of medication is 3 hours, During the past 3 months I have been subject to lots of freezing which is accompanied with heavy stifness in the form of spasm pull' at my right rib. Eventually this leads to tremor in my right hand and right leg.This also started reducing my "Off perfiod" (Medicine wearing off time)FROM TO 3 TO 2.30HRS OR sometimes 2 hours. Anyone has the same issue and ways to get away from this.
