Could you please explain. i assume you are referring to my post regarding my drop foot.

Just to further elaborate, the neuropathy was developing slowly prior to the drop foot, although I did not realize it at the time. After the drop foot was resolved, the neuropathy then progressed over the course of the next 9 to ten months, which brought me to the neurologist who then evaluated my condition and diagnosed my PN. Since she eliminated the other common causes of PN she concluded in her report that she suspected genetic PN.
All I am saying is that as far as I know you cannot eliminate foot drop with surgery for someone who has CMT. That is as far as I know.

There are many, many kinds/types of PN and some are genetic as well. I hope you find an answer.
