My dystonia is less painful than it used to be but more unexpected. I had never thought of powering through while cycling. May give that a try too.

Laura, I bet that my foot dystonia is much less painful than yours - or many those who post here. So my biking with dystonia is a mild annoyance, not a major pain. I hope my initial comment didn't sound flip. Jean
