My big toes wiggle all night and there is pressure on my big toe nails making it feel like my nails are going to pop off

Does any one else have this problem?.

Hi Pauline
I see that you noted that you suffer with burning legs.My wife suffers very badly with this as well and she has been told by our Parkinsons "Specialist" that he does not think its associated with her PD.He can offer no opinion or help to relieve her symptons.Have you found any means of relief or been told of the possible cause? I wonder whether if it is related to a neurological problem and whether it might be better diagnosed by a neurologist.Any thoughts or suggestions?
Love & Best Wishes Gary

Hi Gary
I am sorry I can't offer any releif I am still trying everything I can think of sometime a warm bath and then a message will help but not all the time , the Dr, tells me the samething but I am sure he is wrong because the burning in my legs was one of the first symtoms I had then shortly after the tremors started I go see a new specialist on Nov24 he is a Parkinsons Specialist so I will see what he has to say when did your wifs start :):):)Pauline

Love & Best Wishes Gary i am linda, i've been diagnoised w/pd since 97. yes i have suffered w/unbearable leg pain nothing i'd do would take away the pain, sit, walk or lay down i went to all the drs. i could not help me. they knew the pain was unbearable a 10+the pain NOT EVEN MORHINE would help, i finaly found a pain pill that helped bring the pain to a 6, it was methadone i was in tears all time. finally my regular GP refered me to physical medicine dept. the dr. there finally able to help me. cuz of pd & osteporoisis & i also had my back was causing the problem. i couldn't walk i was in a wheelchair, she said she would try by giving me an epideral in my spine. she speacialized in giving epidurals in finding which disk to do it & behold it was a miracle. i had another done in a couple of months. i was still having some pain but it was a 5 & i could stand it. she told me only 3 injections a year, & if that didn't work she would do something another type of treament. that was in sept. of 2006. it worked after 2 tries. but as i speak my legs are in bad pain again. i have an appt. w/ the phyical medicine dr. the 19th. the treatment was good for almost 2 yrs. i hope this will help you. sorry so lenghty. linda

Hi Pauline
My wifes burning was the fist issue we had prior to her being diagnosed with PD.This was about 3+ years ago.It has got worse with the passage of time and sometimes sreads to her arms and chest-She is convinced she is on fire but she does not feel hot to the touch or go red in any way.Will let you know if we get any resolution as to the cause or any relief.We have tried massage ,cooling gel,and our specialist dispensed Capsaicin cream(a plant of the pepper family I believe) This was a total disaster and magnified her problem by a factor of about 100-It made my hands burn like hell just applying it! I dont know what he was thinking of?The only relief we have discovered so far is to keep her legs mobile and she uses an electric powered leg exercisor for this.It seems to help -maybe lack of movement starts the burning off and the movement relieves it a little?
Talk to you again soon
Love Gary

Hi Gary
Thank you for your reply it sounds just like mine and I am convinced it has something to do with my PD, now my Dr, did put me on Mirapex 0.5 mg, 11/2 tablets to take at bedtime he said it may help but it dosn't and I also take other medication for my PD Mirapex is useless , I am hoping this new specialist will be able to help :):):) Pauline
