Since everyone’s telling their story, I got foot drop from crossing my legs a few weeks ago now with no improvement. I can still walk fine (although I have fallen twice now cause of muscle weakness :/) and I can still lift my toes besides my big toe. Honestly, I’m not too worried about whether or not it goes away as long as it doesn’t get worse since it doesn’t really affect my life in a major way, but it definitely can be fairly annoying at times. Hope y’all recover!

I was diagnosed with drop foot in June 2020. I'm still completely numb down my right leg, foot and toes. I'm having severe bowel problems and noticed numbness in the saddle area as well. My Orthopedic Surgeon is performing a Coccygectomy but I believe I need decompression surgery as well.

I do foot drop exercise 4 hours a day. When will I recover . Any one pls comment if u know the reason for my foot drop condition.
Dr. Scott, My brother had a foot drop, it happened in Oct, 2017. The MRI was done and doctor said it is because of nerve compression. We live in Canada, we went to many doctors that are specilist for foot treatment. ONE of doctors said nothing is going to happen even the surgery is not going to help. we went to another doctor and he said there are 33% chance of improvement if surgery will be placed. The surgery was done in Oct 2018. There were no improvement whatsoever. It has been almost four years my brother is having this foot drop. Is there any hope if it can be fixed? we are very streesed and worried and my brother is only 40 yrs old.
Very helpful ,thanks

Can you get the Dorsiflexion back if you fractured the ankle some time ago? Or is it too late to rehab an issue like this?
