Does anyone find bad side foot turns in?

[hilarypeta]

[christinemc]

Yes, but more so when I get tired or stressed. I carry a folding stick for those times.

[hilarypeta]

Just find it when resting..walk normally so far... I wondered why ..

[srarndt]

Yup! I used to all of the time, before my DBS. Now just when I am really tired or stressed.

[Odette]

Yes, and that has caused me bad posture. I am totally inclined and I just can´t do anything for it. when I walk my both sides feel different and the worse side pulls me on the other side.I can´t keep me upright.

I have the same problem my right side I have been seeing a specialist in the Alexander Technique a system which focuses on correcting posture. I have found it both helpful and fascinating. the down side it is rarely available on the NHS

[Jerebet]

My PD is on my left side. My left hand and left foot postures when I am stressed or tired,

[Dennis]

Yes! My left side gives me difficulty in folding inward and toes bed back and there are tremors. Morning and evening and off and on throughout the day almost every day.. Do not know why. Dennis

My right foot stays turned to the side all the time, which makes it difficult to balance when walking. It's not as bad when I have shoes on. The problem is it's hard to find shoes that fit..My feet are usually swollen and my toes curl under. Does anyone have a solution?

[hilarypeta in reply to maryalice]

The yoga teacher tells me to do the ankle turning exercises..curl toes and stretch and walk doing it..look on internet...but it sounds like me..

[maryalice in reply to hilarypeta]

Thanks. I'll try and google it.

[sharong]

me too. podiatrist's insole helps a bit, sharon

[maryalice in reply to sharong]

Thanks.for your help.

[hilarypeta in reply to sharong]

I have insoles which help with my flat feet..youneed to get them made to measure and change them biennially.

[PatV]

Yes on affected side (left) You can see from callouses how foot is turned. Now I'm getting severe curling in on right toes so left foot toes are splayed out stiffly and right foot toes are curled under! Cute (not)!

They do flatten out when meds kick in. Then they want to do the cancan whether I want to or not.

[maryalice in reply to PatV]

Thanks. Sounds like our toes are the same.

My husband has always thrown his right foot to one side most of his life , it's the same foot that drags now His toes and feet are very different these days . Also bothered with swelling .

He does the rolling exercises .

Do any of ou have a problem with painful heels . He is wakened with sharp pain underneath his heel . I have put it down to cramping .

Unfortunately he cannot get on with a walking stick because of poor hand wrist movement

I have the same problem, I curl my right foot when I walk and stand. The result is bad posture that gives me pain in my whole leg. i try to excercise by rolling my foot round.

[twotutts42]

I have toes that curl under in my right foot and a big toe that curls up on same foot. Find nothing seems to work although have just bought some sketchers walk right 2 shoes. They are so comfortable. I find insoles they made for me on NHS made my foot worse. Does anyone get a burning sensation in toes and numbness. Find that the hardest part of PD is my sore feet as I love walking and it's getting harder to exercise.

I think it is quite a common aspect probably due to damage or deformity of major nerve fibers, most probably relating to Sciatic nerve.
