Can numbness in the toes be a symptom of Parkinson's disease?
Numbness in the toes isn't typically listed as a common symptom of Parkinson's disease. The condition primarily affects movement and causes motor symptoms like tremors, rigidity, slowed movement, and balance problems.
Parkinson's can cause various types of pain, including burning sensations and nerve pain. Some MyParkinsonsTeam members have described experiencing burning feet at night or nerve pain in their legs, but these are usually accompanied by pain rather than just numbness.
The nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson's tend to include things like:
- Mental health changes
- Sleep problems
- Cognitive difficulties
- Autonomic issues
Since your doctors don't think it's neuropathy and it's not a typical Parkinson's symptom, it's worth continuing to work with your healthcare team to identify the cause. Keep them informed about any changes in your symptoms, especially if you develop pain or if the numbness spreads or worsens.
