My toes on my right foot want to curl down . Is this dyskinesia or dystonia?

I think it's dystonia but I never was very good at geography.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member - Dyskinesia is a kind of movement that people with PD get when their dopamine medications get too much. It's kind of a writhing movement, not like the cramping you get with dystonia. Freezing is different as is brain fog or feeling lost. Those are less physical than mental.
