I have just diagnosed with drop foot probably resulting in a severely broken ankle 3-4 years ago, or possibly a meningioma in my brain or even several mild strokes I had several years ago. They do not know what is causing it. I was just sent for a brace yesterday and will receive it in tow weeks. My left leg is weak and I trip a lot.

I have had lots of physical therapy and nobody can understand why both ankles collapse with severe stabbing pain at any time. The physical therapist thinks it is severe inflammation in both fibular nerve roots in the ankle. I can just get out of bed and be completely unable to walk and it takes days to get to where I can walk.

I am 67 and used to teach aerobics and it is so hard to have such a hard time walking. I just would love a diagnosis soon. My balance is not good and I have a hard time walking in a straight line and run in to things.

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

Please share your experiences with anything I have mentioned.
