foot drop

[amberdylz]

i had surgery for a broken t12 vertebrea 2 yrs ago in the surgery they hit a nerve and left me with foot drop.
1st they said itll get back to normal then as the months past they wernt so optimistic im 22 and mum to a 3 yr old boy i cant lift my foot at all i can sort of wiggle my toes but thats about it. the pain i get aswell is not very nice sometimes its really pins and needles others its burning but my foot is always freezing. i just wanted to see if any one else has got foot drop and how you cope with it. ive also had alot of trouble with afos none seem to agree with me im using a velcro strap thing called a foot up its not brilliantly supportive but it seems the only one that works for me any advice or just sumone who knows what im talking about it would be lovely to talk thanks amber

I had knee surgery 3 years ago and my neurologist told me I had drop foot. I also had afo's ,cam walkers and now am using an air cast with no help with walking on my own. A doctor in the ER told me I could of had a nerve severed during surgery.. Up to this date I am still not able to walk.

All the best to you.

Hello Amber did you have foot drop before the surgery and if not then its your every right to present a case against whomever performed the surgery and caused the foot drop....all the best
