When I close my hand and relax my middle finger overlays my ring finger. And it can be very uncomfortable. Is this a PD thing?

I have an issue with hammer toes that make the big toe on the right foot point down as I walk. I trip if I'm not careful. I found a hammertoe brace on Amazon that works for that, but I don't wear it all the time, just when I'm wearing shoes. I don't have the problem of fingers crossing or toes crossing though. This disease is just the "gift" that keeps on giving!🙄
Yes, mine do too. And my toes curl at night.
Hi David. I hope the uncertainties have eased concerning your wife’s retirement to care for you. Speaking of fingers acting strange my last 3 fingers on my right hand don’t function as before. Example is holding a pencil and it rolling over to my little finger I am unable to work those 3 fingers to get the pencil back to the writing position. They seem to have fun making me struggle. I can’t write much but when I have to these 3 fingers are on strike. There seems to be another new finger problem on the same hand I just noticed 2 days ago. I am unable to cross my middle finger over my pointing finger. Touching the side of my fingernail on pointer is as far as it will go. Left hand fingers seem to be fine for now. I try and try to cross those two on my right hand but no way. What’s up with this hateful Mr. Parkie. At least my ears don’t flap back and forth like they’re on batteries. Take care my friend.
Prayers and Blessings
I was going to mention Dystonia but i think someone else already said it!
Not my fingers but my toes! My left big toe & the second toe cross often. Quite painful. Bigger/soft shoes & cotton has helped. Good luck!
