Thigh weakness/foot drop after spine surgery

Thank you so much for your reply. The first EMG showed compression below the knee. I had another EMG about 7 weeks after the release and it showed some inervation below the release site. I was also told based on the test, that should my foot not recover, I am eligible for tendon transfer. Obviously, having it come back is what I'm hoping for. In the meantime, I have had a hip replacement on the oposire side and that has delayed the foot therapy. I have always had some slight movement in the foot, but it never goes beyond that movement. I guess I'm over anxious for improvement. Having the drop foot has changed my world and taken away life as I knew it.
Thank you so much for your reply!
