Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
From the history provided, it seems that the patient is suffering from degenerative disc disease affecting the bladder activity with degenerative changes in the brain.
The treatment is done in these cases according to the severity of symptoms and the general condition of the patient. Most of the times medical treatment with pain killers in combination with muscle relaxants and methylcobalamin supplements are recommended. If there is severe debilitating pain then surgical treatment is considered.
It is best to consult a neurologist and a spine surgeon for the clinical examination and proper evaluation so that specific treatment can be instituted.
To find a good Neurologist and spine surgeon nearest to your place, we have patient written reviews for doctors in our listing, those can guide you for a better specialist. You can search at

Actually more than the pain he is unable to walk and respond well or sharply in action. We are wondering if it is deterioration of Parkinson's or sluggishness due to other neuro Related issues.
He was walking with a stick a month and half back. He is now quite immobile

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The symptoms he is having are more likely to be due to the deterioration of Parkinson's disease. This is not related to the degenerative disc disease.
A direct evaluation by a neurologist will be helpful.
