Do Your Toes Spread Out?

Elkins, WV

Sometimes my toes on my right foot will spread out until they relax again.
I have back issues so I’m not sure if it’s the pd or a back issue.

Rule of thumb: it’s almost always Parkinson’s…
When I look back to my past before my Dx (dx means diagnosis) and realize that almost all my physical problems were on my left side, It makes sense

Make sure you take your pills as directed. My toe curls up and it usually is because I’m behind on my meds I started using an alarm clock to remind me when to take another dose and the result has been amazing . I recommend this ALL pd patients. : use a clock and don’t miss doses.

I developed hammer toes on my right foot, I also have peripheral neuropathy, I wish I could find thin socks with the toe seam under the toes, also the carb/levo makes my feet swell, adding to the discomfort

It takes time for my toes to get back to normal.... there are alot of times my spouse has to message my feet to help with the clawing
