I saw your message and if i can help im any way pls ask. I had foot drop in my left foot in 3001 and they quickly had me in for surgery, a disctectomy on my lumbar, L5-S1. I had to go backbin for a fusion several months later. Im wishing you gad EMG results too, but i dont renember having it done. I did get an EMG of arms before neck surgery.
My best to you, im glad your asking questions, its so important to understand and be prepared.

Hi, @jewel8888, did the foot drop surgery work for you? And if it did how long had you had the foot drop before the surgery. I have had mine since sept. Of 08. So, it might be to long for them to correct it. I am waiting on another EMG to have them look at it. But in the meantime I am having someone looking at my neuropathy to see what they can do about that. Someone told me the other day they could help me and already had a date scheduled for the surgery. But I told them let's wait and see what the EMG says about my Foot Droo. Perhaps they could fix them at the same time. Wishful thinking. And besides they are out of New Jersey and I am in. Texas.So, I find a doctor in Texas that is going to look at my neuropathy on May 16 th, and see what he says. It would just be great to be out of this pain all of the time. Thanks for all of your help. If you do not mind me asking where did you have your surgery done?But

Hi@jewel8888, so did the surgey correct your foot drop? And how long did you have it before they did the surgey? I think that I am past the point for them to correct the foot drop. But I a. Hoping that they can correct my neuropathy.
