Yes, I have nerve damage in my right leg and I have a foot drop.
The two surgeons who initially put my hardware in, put it in incorrectly.
A cage was placed on the nerve and caused the damage.
I wear an AFO and use a cain to keep from falling.
Usually after a year if the condition of the foot drop doesn’t change it becomes permanent.
Your surgeon should have told you this.
Consult with your surgeon before seeing a chiropractor.
Physical therapy is a must after surgery.
I would get a second surgeon’s opinion.
