I'm sorry. I totally feel for you. It seems some days are worse than others. Ate you wearing a brace? That will help you walk better. Physical Therapy is helpful too. Your Doctor doesn't sound helpful at all. Have you had any testing since surgery or second opinion on your condition? I guess I'm a bullhead and keep pursuing options. Best to you. Please post again with updates!

Hi Jennifer and all,
Yesterday I had my last PT appointment for awhile. A woman came in with foot drop. I talked with her and she gave me some good info. First, she had on a brace that is completely different than mine and seems like a better choice. She said it's been a gamechanger for her. She said there is a "club" for people with footdrop. I hope I can mention Turbomed. There are a number of places on Facebook with info from others with footdrop. Take from them what makes sense to you. I am loving learning from it. It's similar to this site but just for footdrop. I hope this helps someone! I think it's a God moment thst she came in when she did!
