Problem With Toes Curling
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

My toes curl up when I am in the OFF condition. I can go along for hours with no problems. At the beginning of the day my shoe fits fine. Then when I have an OFF spell, I notice that toe four on my left foot is getting sore. This toe goes under toe three causing a sore place. Anyone else having trouble with toe curling?
