@yojimbob Jimbob, I have experienced foot drop, and that happened right after a traffic accident that caused a whiplash. It gradually resolved, but resurfaced years later when I developed spine problems when I developed spinal cord compression. I had spine surgery that resolved everything.
This is something that you may want to talk to a neurologist about as they can test and diagnose problems of nerves and the brain or spinal cord. Do you have a neurologist who you can see or can your doctor refer you to one in your area?

Thanks for your reply .Everything I’ve looked up has NOTHING on neuropathic drop foot . Everything is about some other issue . I’m trying to find out about neuropathic drop foot . Seems no one has drop foot from neuropathy . I’m trying to find out about neuropathic foot drop .
I woke up this morning ( Saturday ) with signs of toe dragging and of course nothing is open until Monday . So I can’t even make an appointment.
I am on gabapentin and cymbalta. All it has done is hide the progression of symptoms. I didn’t take any today and my foot is completely numb and toes are scuffing the ground when I walk . Is this something that can wait until Monday or is it urgent ? Or is this just the natural progression of the disease of neuropathy. Anyone that may have some sort of answers for this situation it would be a great help , since I’m in a lot of distress this morning with this new development.
Thanks for reading
