That's fascinating, Rick!

Many people with the LRRK2 mutation start out with foot dystonia.

Lindy, I have foot dystonia at rest and it worsens with walking. My foot turned inward, toes curled, and I had spasms in my feet and my leg. The dystonia got my knee out of whack and I had awful knee pain (I have arthritis with bone spurs).

Baclofen, 10 mg three times a day, is my life saver. Most of the disabling dystonia is gone. I still have it sometimes, but it's uncomfortable, not unbearable. And my knees are okay, as long as I take the NSAID etodolac.

Maybe ask your neuro about baclofen. It's very good for foot dystonia.
