[QUOTE="Adele99, post: 629629, member: 47601"] My right toe has been like this for ages. Sometimes when I've been sleeping it wakens me because it sticking up at a right angle facing me, which the joint shouldn't allow. Pretty sore when it happens and gets me out of bed in a such hurry I end up tangled up in the duvet. Now my left toes is doing the same, but it's slightly bent so worse as it's also sitting at an angle , and making it very painful to wear any sort of closed toe shoes.Particularly the ones given to me by the Orthotics dept as they're a very firm leather. The foot moulds were done last year, so didn't allow for this and it took 8 months for them to be made and adjusted, by the time you wait in between appointments. Not sure if it's nerve damage or shortening of tendons, have these Duputyres contact urges in several fingers, so thought it might be same thing except in the feet. Does anyone else have this, and if so, can you tell me is it possible to train the toes back into a normal position in some way? Maybe splints or something. Or some sort of specific exercises I can do daily? With winter coming don't fancy only being able to wear slippers or open toe shoes. [/QUOTE]
