A lot of people with spinal cord injury/myelopathy have foot drop. Mine is fairly minor so I do not wear a brace. There are good hinged braces available for people with foot drop — occupational or physical therapists could help you with this.

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?
