Description
Tsalta-Mladenov, Dimitrova, and Andonova report a rare case of painful legs and moving toes syndrome in a 2024 paper. The disorder pairs burning leg pain with toes that move on their own. It is little known among clinicians.
Their patient, a man in his late fifties, had back and leg pain with toe movements worsened by touch on the thigh. Imaging showed multilevel disc disease in the neck and lower back, with cord involvement. A daily nerve pain drug eased both pain and movements, and the benefit held over three months of follow-up. The paper reviews other options, from injections to stimulation, for stubborn cases. Early use of the drug is recommended.
