Re: Foot Drop
Yes, I have had foot drop for many years. It was funny as the troops could hear me me walking like a duck with right foot slapping the ground from some ditance off. Initally it was attributed to a 7.62 mm round that shattered my ankle and tore up the lower calf. However, I also had a Grade III lumbar spine with marked severe left and marked severe right sided foraminal stenosis (L5/S1).
I had the lamenectomy done in 1992 with pedicle rods, plates, and screws. I had gone through all the nerve blocks I cared to. Do your legs ever feel like they weigh 100 pounds each? Does your lower back lock up now, or has it ever totally locked up leaving you flat on the floor for a day or more? Have they run EMG's on that leg or both legs? Yes, I had two MRI's, but; the EMG's showed the leg results. I am no medic or MD.
