I would definitely ask if this foot drop is permanent - and WHY it happened.
I would ask why I have burning in both legs, which suggests nerve damage. Ask if you DO have nerve damage, and should you be on medication for the burning? This COULD just be the result of the healing process so I would Not get too upset. I would probably wait and see and if it's still like this in a few months, then I would begin to wonder. Nerves grow back at the rate of one inch per month, and you DID have some nerve damage just by having the surgery so like I said, be patient. I'm sure the longer time goes on, the better you'll fee. Take care, Hugs, Lee
