Hello Ann
I have foot drop due to back surgery. I have been suffering with horrible pain in my toes and ankle. I barely sleep from the pain and up for days at a time. When I was younger I could deal with the pain better, now I can’t take the pain. Is there any medicine you take to help the pain … if so can you please tell me so I can ask my doctor about it. Thank you !

I hi ann , my name is carol and I was left with foot drop as a result of a botched total hip reply in which my nerve was nicked.a diver as I was told. I would be interested in any operation if I could be rid of that horrible brace, but was told I have no nerve conduction in that nerve by a nerve study. Other muscles ok. Would I possibly be a candidate for such an operation? Where did you go for your opinion? Any help would be great and lighten my spirits.

It is called a Tendon Transfer surgery and I am SO thankful that I had the surgery. I no longer have to wear the painful AFO (Ankle Foot Orthotic) brace which I hated.

My lower leg and foot were paralyzed during a spinal surgery by Dr. Rolando Roberto at UC Davis Medical School. The pain I live with from the foot drop is horrendous; burning, crawling sensations. But at least now I don’t have to wear the brace anymore. I encourage everyone to seek out an experienced Ankle and Foot Orthopedic surgeon for this surgery. There is a casting period involved but again well worth it.
