Drop foot

Ever since my stroke in 2018, I've had drop foot on my affected (right) side.

Some days it's not too bad, but when I'm tired, I really have to work at picking up my foot.

Fortunately, I've only fallen once, and that was four years ago, but there have been some close calls.

And it seems that no matter how much I exercise, I can't overcome it. Very frustrating!

Sounds likely hubby. Has nuero checked you for CIDP or Guillain Barre? Hectic was fully paralyzed for 62 days. Came on quick. But 5 years later if it’s a week before ivig, he thumps or slaps his feet. Just a thought. Get a CRP test. That may help

Me too. MD gave me a brace. It keeps toe up when walking. It inserts in shoe under foot. Also called Slap step. With it I no longer trip or fall. Good luck, it works!
