dystonia and dyskinesia
Boy, do I have a lot to learn!
While I've heard of dystonia and dyskinesia, I really never knew what they meant. I made the assumption that my curled toes and my foot pain are due to not wearing shoes with enough padding and/or arch support. So I bought some better shoes and my feet STILL hurt. Ugh! And my toes curl so much that I'm thinking of surgery. Has anyone had their toes operated on and straightened by using rods? I was told that it's less of a recovery if I have my middle toe amputated than it is to straighten the toes. Does anyone have experience with either of those surgeries?
Thanks, in advance, for all your help. This website is what's kept me sane for eleven years. It's made up of true, caring individuals who help each other.
Welcome to any newbies out there!
