This year, 7 yrs after dx & a stroke, I suddenly am experiencing bad pains in my toes. Even getting an occasional pedicure has become such a painful experience that i can’t get one any more!

That sounds really horrible loretta1106. I know nothing personally of this but curiosity led me to look it up online to see if it was a known about problem, and this is what I read:'Strokes wreak havoc on the body, and the feet are no exception. The nerve and muscle damage caused by strokes can impact your toes. This results in the over-contracting of toes and spasticity, a condition where you lose control of the voluntary movement of your toe muscles'. Elsewhere I saw this described as 'claw toes'. There was no source quoted for this but it does sound as if there is definitely a connection. I hope this helps and it sounds as if you should be flagging it up with your GP to see what help is available for it.
