Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

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.

Sorry to hear about your drop foot. Just curious, does your surgeon know about this development post-surgery? Was any physical therapy suggested? I know what you mean about not being able to lift the foot. There are various supports to help with drop foot. I got a prescription from my primary doctor. My insurance paid for the AFO's. I went to a company that fits people with prosthetics, and they determined what kind of ankle foot orthotics was best for me. I've had mine for 5 years which help with balance.
