About ago year I stared having numbness & pain in both feet in both feet & realized that it was Neuropathy & started taking Ibuprofen which helped but one day as I was watching tv, a doctor said that people need more collagen, so I tried it & it worked for me. The container said to take 2 scoops per day (2 tablespoons) & it worked for me. Within 3 days 95% of the pain was gone. I cut back to one scoop & the pain returned. I told all my doctors & they've all said they've never heard of using that remedy. It may not work for everyone. The only time my have any pain is when I go to Rock Steady Boxing & bounce around on my feet too long they hurt a little but I feel the exercise helps my Parkinson's so much that that little bit of pain is worth it!

Surgery is the only remedy I know of. Be sure you choose a reputable surgeon. Some aren't very good. I got one that wasn't and my right foot is a mess. I now have to wear a size larger shoe on the right foot than I wear on the left.

Yes that's definitely dystonia.

I had the same problem. I had 4 clips and 3 pins put in. Then while I was recovering from the surgery, I tripped and tore the ligament out of my big toe. More pins and several screws. Now I wear two different sizes of shoe.
