Starz, I have the exact same issue with my left leg and foot.
Foot wants to drag along.....I can deal with it when I am at home and can just slide it along the wood floors but to put on shoes and try to be out and about in public is just SO exhausting.
It's so hard to explain to others why I can't lift my foot. I just can't!
Just want you to know you're not alone. And I'm in GA, too!!
