Hi, lindkaye,

It does sound like foot drop. Physical therapy might help (PT) but it also might be time for some sort of brace or a walker.

Here are a couple of links that might help:

I have had foot drop since I was a kid. I would get in trouble for scuffing up the toes of my shoes and told to pick my feet up when I walk. I kept trying to tell my mother I couldn't and I wasn't doing it on purpose. Didn't matter, I got hit and yelled at for wasting her money on perfectly good shoes

I have always *caught* my feet on rugs, plastic that is down to protect the floor when painting and basicly *anything* or *nothing.* Our bank just put in stone tiles which are not level, they have indentations like worn stone. I hate it. I have to be very careful everytime I go in (no drive thru).

I am very aware of where I am walking and make really sure I am lifting my feet enough to clear an object which can be difficult in many cases.
