Does it change with your medication? Some people get this effect when their meds are beginning to work and others when they are beginning to wear off. The treatment would be different in both cases but it's worth going to a specialist with a note of the times when it's at it's worst and when you take which meds.

I have this in the morning until meds kick in. Less when I remember to take magnesium. I just have to grab them and stretch them out. I used to think it was cute I could pick up things with my toes.

I am on Magnesium pills and the doctor gave me things in my how's plastic toe things. I stretch my toes ever day but the tops are sore and rub my how's. They are getting slowly worse. I am an active person. Help!

Alfie, do you have Parkinsons ? If you do what medication are you on for it?

No all my problems are with right foot. Chiropodist just said to wear insoles and toe dividers which don't help.

Well if you have Parkinsons that is why you have a claw foot and why it is only one side. Medication for Parkinsons will help. I dont know anything else that does.

It's the right foot. Been told to wear insoles and toe dividers which are no help.

Parkinson's that's scary! Is that THE Parkinson's disease that Ali has?

Alfiefluffy this is a Parkinsons site so we talk about how Parkinsons is affecting us. That's why all the answers have been about Parkinsons. If you haven't been diagnosed with Parkinsons then our answers must be confusing.
