if you have foot drop, has he either Rx an AFO (Ankle Foot Orthotic) for you to wear, or has he sent you to a physiatrist (a medical doctor that specializes in physical therapies and rehabilitiation. Physiatrists can also Rx an AFO)

An AFO is a special brace that's either made out of metal and built into your shoe, or it's a special plastic brace that slides into your shoe so you can wear it with different shoes. It helps keep your foot at the correct positions to be able to walk. I have one. It works great. (I need to go get it serviced and see if I need to have it put into a new pair of shoes. The one I have is built into my sneakers)

Physical therapy is great for foot drop in my experience. It keeps your foot and the muscles strong and moving. Plus, as you do PT, again, in my experience, you can feel your endurance and stamina build up.
