I’ve have lower limb Dysonia one foot and leg had it since 12 I thought it was normal and only started research it cause it has increased in episodes that it takes place it randomly happens when I lay down or sat down….. but I’m not aware of it being related to Parkinson’s I need to ask my doctors cause I always thought this was normal infill I started having contractions 2-3 days and my toes curl and fold on top of eachther

What if you have lower limb dystonia but you don't have Parkinson's? Can you still benefit from the medication?

As a drummer in my 40's my right foot began not to function quite right. Patterns that I was able to play at 13 years old became impossible. The longer, or faster I play the worse it gets.In the mornings I'll get those cramps as well. I should mention I had a spinal fusion l4-l5 l5-s1, however I was getting these symptoms before the surgery. Since the surgery things have progressively gotten worse, and ill often wake up with no feeling in my leg, or legs. WHAT CAN I DO??

Go to the doctor. A neurologist

Did you find a solution for your problem? It seems I am suffering from something quite similar on my right leg for some years now. I am progressively loosing control of my right leg (mostly while I play double bass) and this turns into knee/hip pain. Double bass patterns that were very easy for me to play now seem impossible. I visited many doctors, no-one was able to locate my issue
