Hi , I recently developed foot drop as a result from a complication ofvaricose vein surgery. Unfortunately the surgeon sutured around the the common peroneal nerve when she was stitching up. This was not discovered for a week (initially thought to be a mild neuropraxia). The second surgeon was able to remove the suture and said he was able to see the blood vessels and axon going through the nerve and said I should make a full recovery. I understand there is about 1-5mm nerve repair per day & I need to get from my knee to my big toe!! I am a very positive and determined 42 year old female PE teacher and triathlete!! I am very interested in hearing from others with foot drop originating from CPN damage.
