Have you recently had Botox injections in your calf muscles to help with curled toes?

While the search results don't specifically mention Botox for curled toes, many MyParkinsonsTeam members do share experiences with various injection therapies for Parkinson's symptoms. Curled toes (also called dystonia) can be a challenging symptom of Parkinson's, and Botox is sometimes used to help relax those tight muscles.

After any injection, it's normal to experience some temporary reactions at the injection site. You might notice:

- A small lump or swelling where the needle went in
- Some soreness or tenderness
- Minor bruising

These reactions typically resolve within a few days to two weeks. To help with any discomfort, you can try a warm compress, gentle massage around (not directly on) the injection site, and over-the-counter pain relief if needed. Gentle movement and staying hydrated can also help with healing.

If you notice the area becoming increasingly red, hot, or painful, or if symptoms persist beyond two weeks, it's worth checking in with your doctor.

How are you feeling after the injections?
