Default Scoliosis: recent onset

Hi there
I am 55 and until 7 years ago was very fit running about 10 km per day. I got this cramp in my right leg and was diagnosed as having Parkinson's Disease.
I was put on Madopar, Cabaser and Effexor and then about 3-4 years ago people commented on this lean to the right that I was developing which turned into severe scoliosis and my current specialist does not think I had Parkinson's at all so is it possible that I have reacted to the drugs I was on ?

Konewone, I don't know but am hopeful that someone else might.

By replying, I'm thinking others, who may know, will see your message and possibly reply as well.

You were diagnosed with Parkinson's by having a cramp in your right leg?

I am assuming they did other tests, yes? Did you have any upper-body symptoms?
