my problem is more that I cannot physically lift my leg off the floor, period. When I try, I put 120% effort in and my foot stays stuck on the floor. It's like it's glued there. I keep thinking that it will suddenly fly up and my knee will knock me in the teeth as I am working so hard to lift up that leg up. This is nerve damage to a muscle in my hip (sensorimotor axonal neuropathy - I have quite a lot of motor damage).

When I walk I have to slide my foot along the floor and sort of drag the leg behind me.

My other leg is going the same way, which is going to make walking pretty difficult when/if I get to the point that I cannot lift that leg/foot at all either. This is just so weird. I am seeing my neuro in about 10 days which is good.

cheers
