Spastic toe pain with a toe crest

 My therapist never mentioned possibly using toe crests to straighten the toes that are curled due to spasticity.  I've been using them on and off for years, first to stop from walking on my toenails while inside the shoe.  I can't walk barefoot without walking on my toenails.  Today after a full day of wearing one my toes screamed in pain for stretching muscles that don't want to be stretched. 

Another possibility I tried at night was to sleep with this toe stretcher. That lasted only two hours before my toes screamed in pain and I removed them and threw them away.  The only solution is curing spasticity contrary to the idiotic opinion of

 the infamous Dr. William M. Landau who thinks spasticity is not worth treating. 

Do you believe in the do nothingism of Dr. William M. Landau on spasticity?  

His statement from here:

Spasticity After Stroke: Why Bother? Aug. 2004

Wonder if he will be singing the same tune after he becomes the 1 in 4 per WHO that has a stroke, will he be satisfied with not getting recovered? Comeuppance will be a real bitch for him when he gets spasticity.
