Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I have drop foot. I have a different diagnosis than you causing my drop foot. It started with left foot and then the right foot a few months later. Should you experience a situation where you feel the front of your foot gets "caught" and would stumble forward. at that point, please make certain you get good medical advice. I now wear ankle foot orthotics (AFO's) to prevent tripping. Wish you the best with your 6-month treatment.

I seem to have the same thing with foot drop. About 3 weeks after my spine surgery (fusion L3-S1) I noticed that I couldn't raise my left foot without raising my leg. Now my right foot seems to be getting as bad. I never had any of these symptoms before surgery even though I've had PN for 12 years.

Are there other symptoms to drop foot? Do you walk heel to toe with drop foot?
