I’m the same, well sort of! Mine overlap each other and can be quite uncomfortable, especially when the nail on one toe digs into the underneath of the one next to it. I was given toe separators which make things much comfier. They were made by the podiatrist, and yes, I was told it was spasticity too.
Toes are a nightmare!!! I have fairly long toes except baby one, and they’ve always tended to hook/claw, and this has definitely worsened over last few years. Always thought it was because feet are useless and don’t do much, but I suppose it cous be spasticity. Now whole foot sort of twisting as don’t walk properly. Yuk yuk yuk…
Mine make a claw on my right foot… My physio tells me it is because they are trying to grip the ground when my balance goes off, it is really uncomfortable sometimes!
Freak show here we come…because wear leg brace on right foot, and curly hooky toes, the tips of my toes were sort of hitting floor first and it was excruciating. So they made a sort of moulded toe separator thing to sort of support and stop rubbing. This does work, but I have also caused a huge blister on my little toe, that went black etc. but can’t afford not to wear leg brace, so was wrapping in tissue paper every day and have also tried blister pads. All repaired now but only with daily attention, and some discomfort/pain.
If it’s not one thing it’s another, just hate my feet now. used to be able to pick things up with toes and such and did quite like my feet but not anymore
Yes me too. Mine is on my left which is the side I have my issues. My toe next to my big toe is moving away from it and going UPWARDS, i can see it doing it sometimes, and it also lifts my foot up off the floor and makes it so hard to walk somedays. I showed my doctor as it doesnt pain me per se, but it feels weird and also i have a load of nerve pain in that foot. She laughed and said well never seen that before, but its part of your illness.
Then the other day i was sat on my recliner with my socks off, and i looked down as my RIGHT leg in the hip was aching, and there was my BIG toe laying over the toe next to it lol…and i could just feel crampy pain. I showed my husband and he laughed, “I bet you couldnt do that again lol”. It was actually difficult for me to get my big toe back where it should have been.
I tried to do the same thing the next day, no way would it happen.
I have photos of my left toe up in the air lol. Gosh I am so glad I read these posts I feel better now, as wasnt sure what was going on.
Yeah. I never wear any other socks now. The time it takes is more than made up for by them not crossing over, bending about, curling up… They massively improve my walking as a result
