Maybe try magnesium supplement, I use a magnesium spray that helps.

Stretches, epsom salt bath, magnesium tablets all help.

I too suffer dystonia in leg and shoulder about 2 to 3 hours after taking sinemet dose. It lasts about an hour and affects my walking. I take magnesium and use spray but this gives no improvement. The only thing that works for me is to take my next sinemet dose sooner. Ideally just before the dystonia starts.
