Several years ago I had a Spinal Tap at JFK Hospital in Boynton Beach Fl.
The Tech twice missed the vein. Terrible pain. That night Sciatica in left leg. Terrible Pain.
Foot Drop came next, Then Neuropathy and numbness came.
I may have Sinal Stenosis. Could it be the cause of all my problems.

@gba I found some other discussions where you may meet other members discussing Foot Drop. Spine problems can cause foot drop. I did have some temporary problems with foot drop after a traffic accident that caused a whiplash, and that injury lead to spine surgery years later when I developed cervical stenosis in the central canal.
