If you have drop foot I am very interested in your experiences.

Please share your experiences with anything I have mentioned.
I have bilatral footdrop and wear the AFO braces. Mine is from dying and damaged nerves in my L/S spine from toxic neuropathy and pressure on my spinal cord. I have no balance. I got myself a rollator walker and it was life changing, allowing me to walk without fear of falling. Mine did progress to severe leg weakness and walking anywhere but around the house is a big time chore. I am not saying you will progress to this. I am 63, retired emergency room nurse manager, used to running around like crazy. It all seem so unreal at times.
