It will be much easier to walk if you don't bend down touching your legs with your fingers.😁

It's called "hammer toes", when the toes bend downward. It can sometimes be painful when the toes get stff. There are some toe exercises that you could try. Check uofmhealth.org/health-libra...

You can find more in the internet. Consulting a podiatrist might be a good idea. All the best.

Hi, are you taking magnesium? I think I would start with 4 magnesium capsules a day 2 in the morning, two at night and see how you're doing with them. Magnesium really helps with that. Magnesium glycinate is good for that.

Although mag oil feels like an oil, it is not oil. It has many uses and helps to relax the muscles and reduce pain and in some people can also reduce nerve pain.

Here is a post I made about the value of magnesium in PWPs and others that will answer most of your questions. For all over pain relief and muscle relaxation, another form of magnesium is useful also, epsom salt, which is magnesium sulfate. The spray oil is magnesium chloride.
