Foot drop
5 weeks ago I was diagnosed with peronealneuropathy causing foot drop I have tingling in my top of my foot my big toe is completely numb I have a lot of pain down the side of my calf I just want to know I've started physical therapy therapy I've had a MRI that shows slight stenosis on both sides and a moderate bulge on the right side which is where my foot drop is but the neurologist said he didn't think it was causing foot drop I've had a nerve conduction test and an EMG that confirmed peronealneuropathy I just wanted to know if anybody has had symptoms like this and what the recovery is like and how long it took I'm really desperate for some answers another thing is I just had bariatric surgery gastric sleeve and I've lost 97 pounds in 7 months and peronealneuropathy could be a side effect to rapid weight loss because I cross my legs a lot and they said I could have crushed that nerve just looking for some kind of experience with this and what I can expect as far as recovery goes
