Default Hi :)

Hello. I am new to this forum. I am 41 and have lower limb focal dystonia.
My problems started in 2008 with repeated slipped discs. In October 2010 I had surgery on l4 /l5 as I then had foot drop. It was a huge prolapse and they were shocked that I had not lost bowel and bladder function! All was fine until 2011 when I fell over our Newfoundland who ran into me. I had immediate pain and my foot started to invert after a week. Another back op saw no improvement. I have been using crutches for 20 months now. My foot is inverted and horrible looking. I am having botox and physio. Is there anything else? Anyone else suffer with similar things? It drives me nuts to have such a useless foot. I wish I could do more with my kids
Thanks .
Sorry for long post.

Hello,
They haven't found any therapy, adjustments, splinting or surgery to correct the foot problem? I hope something is found that will help.
