I don't know IF my issue is foot drop BUT I had a anterior hip replacement in 2010 and ended up with femoral nerve damage on front of thigh, incision is in front of thigh. Femoral nerve is right there. That's where they did all this HORRIFIC work as I see it now after all said and done. My right leg is shorter and didn't know that for a couple yrs, so damage was done...this leg issue made my OA knee worse and made my foot and ankle worse...I don't know whether all my foot stuff is from OA only or a combination from dead nerves....my ankle is very weak and again all my issues could be from the nerve damage from hip job. Ankle is very stiff and kinda numb too...so for me it seems to be all related to the surgery.

Oh, IT Band damage too. I really got the shaft with what I hoped would be relief.

I've done a lot of acupuncture, take a lot of supps, stretches and keep ankle moving with exercises. I often fear that one day it will go under. Hate to say that.
