Hello @davidcana and welcome to Mayo Connect,

I'm assuming that you are talking about DBS? I'm not sure if that will help with freezing, I have heard that it can help with tremors.

I would like to invite some of our other PD members to talk about that. Does anyone in our group know about surgery to help with freezing?

Also here are some links to articles about PD and freezing: The first one is from the National Parkinson’s Foundation http://www.parkinson.org/understanding-parkinsons/living-well/freezing.

This next article is from the Michael J. Fox Foundation https://www.michaeljfox.org/foundation/news-detail.php?tricks-to-move-through-freezing-episodes-in-parkinson-disease.

Has your doctor offered you any suggestions or thoughts about the freezing, @davidcana?
