Long story short. Neurologist determined my Peroneal nerve from my knee down was damaged. Had every symptom of Foot drop including massive numbing. Based of many tests estimated heal time was 3 years nerve 10 years for numbness to go away. I wore a ankle brace I bought from Frys (Gel Padding), took massive amounts of L-Glutamine, Massive amounts of vegetables and ULTRA healthy diet, applied heat and stimulated the muscle with exercises. Fully healed in 5 months. Both doctors were surprised.
Great brother...my son got sciatic nerve injury above the knee few days back.... doctor said it will take 12 months for recovery & said can expect foot drop..... please suggest plan of treatment
I got drop foot when I found out I had cancer at 10 years old couple years later almost done with chemo (hopefully don't get cancer again) now I'm just hoping I get my foot back
I'm glad I ran into this video! So good to see a professional takes his time to post his video so that the public can understand. I'm sure many people benefit from this video. Thank you!
I have been installing laminate flooring in my room for about 2 days. I worked about 8 hours per day and I was kneeling, crouching and sitting crossed legs a lot (I suppose that I have injured nerves in my knee). When I was done with work I have noticed that I can't lift my right foot anymore. But, at first sight, I was thinking that maybe somehow I have streched or injured a muscle in right leg. Therefore, I waited for 6-7 days before I visited my family doctor (that was a mistake). Two days before I visited my family doctor, I have been reading a lot about the foot drop on the internet. That's why I knew I had a symptoms of foot drop. My family doctor confirmed that I have foot drop and with an emergency procedure she sent me next day (20.11.2018.) to a physiatrist. Diagnosis was laesio nervi peronei and because of that I wasn’t able to lift my right foot. Physiatrist gave me a prescription for the Neurobion (combination of vitamins B1, B6, B12 and other ingredients) and also they have showed me how to perform exercises (you can find similar exercises on yt) at home. I have been taking Neurobion and performing exercises 2 times per day. Today (28.11.2018.) I can lift my right foot normally, I can drive a car and walk properly. But, I don't have yet full strength in my right foot like I had before the injury. Also, 3.12.2018. I need to go on physical therapy (abbreviation is AFT - I don't know what that abbreviation stands for). Physical therapy will last for 10 days, and after that (20.12.2018.) I need to visit that physiatrist again (just because of examination). Btw I am from Croatia, probably in other countries they have a different medicines and procedures. If your injury is similar like mine, don't be afraid. Be persistent with exercises and take your medicine regularly and you will be ok again. Good luck!
Same here! I kneeling all day few days and same i got this foot drop,i went to the dr and same medicine i was given! And to do exercises,now is 5th day and it is better,btw im from serbia,probably same procedure like in our neighbour😂 Interesting i got this same like you,installing laminate floor ! Same sitting on crossed legs for hours!
I'm not sure how many, but I believe it is a sizable market as it can be caused from issues with the spine, perennial nerve, etc. I am glad that you are doing this project, as it will help a lot of people. I hope you will promote this video among your colleagues.
Foot drop may take up to one year to recover. I would repeat the EMG study at a minimum of three weeks post-surgery in order to receive a reasonable response.
I was born with foot drop on my right foot. It sucks because I have to wear a chunky brace if I want to walk normally. I want o find a cure for this so not only me, but everyone who has foot drop can walk normally:/
ive had peroneal nerve damage resulting in nerve damage from an injury 5 months ago and I am just NOW being able to move my toes... BUT not the big toe. thanks for the information. I was starting to think I wouldn't be able to move my big toe but as u say usually the last to recover!!
Hello! My wife is in her 5 month after surgery, and i her 6th after the injury. Since this post was made 5 years ago, how are you with your condition today? Is it fully healed? Thanks in advance!
Hi! In the same boat ! Can move my toes but the muscle on the left side of ankle is tender to the touch still and hurts to dorsiflex. We’re you able to recover over time ??
hello sir, i had tissues isquimia because i have been with Both legs crossed for more or less 12 hours and when i wake in the hospital i have been cirurgy in intensiva care because the cyrurgic room was ocupied and so the cireurgeon take out the necrosie part of muscles but to help the already bad situation i get a bacteria from intensiva care room who start eating the legs tissue, after a battle against the bacterias and to stay with the Legs no cutt because one of the doctors wanted to cut both, my lucky was my familie didnt gave autorization to that , they said i never walk again but i recover but stay with a drop foot in the right leg and wick muscle and i cant move the fingers in the right leg, it das 2011 do foi think i can recover still after that time? im doing eletroestimulation, what you think, hope foi can answer me for i dont spent more time and money. thanks
nabil ebraheim had motor cycle crash broke pelvis 20 months latet still got footdrop. You wrote about EMG test how do they do it? And will it hurt? Because i still have a bit of swelling around the toes Thanks.
The doctor fails to mention that foot drop can be linked to endometriosis. An article has been published on this topic in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry 1991;54:935-940. 'Pelvic endometriosis is a common gynaecological disorder. While usually involving the ovaries, uterosacral ligaments and pelvic peritoneum, it may rarely invade the sciatic nerve and its plexus.'
I will read up on that now I have chronic foot drop for 12 years it's my balance I can't getca answer why that is so affected do you no anything on this ..I have left side foot drop due to a broken disc in my L4L5 spine ..That herniated and moved out and up ..
My son had back surgery fusion L3 and L5 and afterwards he had foot drop. Obiviously they caused some nerve damage. Physical therapy has helped some and he is walking some what better. When he runs his foot gets tired fast and foot drop is noticeable when he runs. Above his knee he has no feeling and is numb. It's almost been 5 months since surgery. What do you think? What do you recommend to help him improve his running. Do you think he will get feeling back above knee?
My baby 1yr4mths was given injection on his butts last week he is unable to put his right foot down at times he has not started walking. I am confused as I don't know if it is the pains from the injections or if it is a nerve injury.
I had a foot drop after left ankle surgery doctor did on Sep. 2017 after 9 months I stil not walking normal. Im so depressed because I cant move my foot, I cant walk normal and the pain is getting worst. Doctor did nerve studies and say the damage is irreversible and another surgery could be worst. I dont know what to do. So sad this happened to me. :,( :,(

I have foot drop after the removal of a brain tumour, the whole of my left leg was left parylised in 2012. What's strange is my big toe was the first to move upward with the smaller ones the last to move. There is improvement I can get about with a crutch, my foot has started to lift a little, but my heel can't touch the floor which makes walking very exhausting.
I got foot drop in 2012 and when I went in to the doctor he asked if I played soccer and I was so confused. He said it's a common soccer injury...but I played no sports lol. I twisted my ankle wearing high heels! It was horrible and had to go through months of physical therapy. Now almost 5 years later my foot is not and will never be the same. I can lift it, but the amount of strength I had prior to the injury will never return.
William it doesn’t hurt you just slap your foot silly on the ground especially when you are tired. Walking the right way can require considerable effort and not always yield success.
@@ferniechavez9116 Hi! I would say yes and no. The joint of my foot and ankle get tired easily if I wall too much. I don't have full range of motion back but it's pretty damn close. Overall, the injury has healed itself to its full extent which is to my satisfaction. It doesn't bother me in my daily life.
hello! so today at work i was back kicking a tire to try to get it to come off the studs & now i can’t lift my foot up and when i walk it’s all weird. i’m thinking it might be this. i also have twitching in my toes
Hi sir, it thanks, my relationship of someone full body droped, that person was fallen on house so nervous system was fallen and hardly damage , so that person was not move forward , because that's person legs and hands and back bone was broken so how can try to recovery
I didn't realise what I have until today, for weeks I've been walking around feeling there was something wrong with my leg and only recently realised the numbness on the top half of foot and lower leg. Went to the doctor but he didn't say anything about this, he just told me to exercise my leg. I hope its not too late, I briefly got foot drop yesterday 😭
Mine went away fairly quick, and I don't remember my foot being sore at all, Ive been running a lot lately and the symptoms have gone away for the most part. I guess your muscle need to get used to it. But once again, I never had soreness of any kind. Yours might be a little worse. Good luck.
I honestly find your videos very educational and easy to learn about any condition...so thank you! i would like to see more about the drop foot, because i have my dissertation with this topic...something about neurological (why drop foot is occurring). Thank you again and hope to see more videos!
@crashdaveAAKK Your injury/story is almost identical to mine. I too hyper-extended my knee(left), resulting in the same ACL/LCL damage but luckily it was only a first degree tear meaning I didn't need surgery. It's been 10 months since my injury and I'm still dealing with drop foot. It has gotten a lot better though, I can move 4 of my toes and my ankle a bit.
Would be useful to also cover how to specifically differentiate between foot drop from L5 radiculopathy and a peroneal injury since these are the two most common causes and a frequent source of test questions :D However, I thought this was a GREAT video, very helpful, ty for making it.
Sir lgot paralysis four years back my left leg and hand is paralysed can iget back my left leg movement by your treatment please send your adress and contact numbett
this video has eased my mind .Iwas told by my dr i had foot drop [casually] but as im 66 and a smoker i was expecting to lose my foot/leg and as i live on a hill it would be very awkward going for a pint
Cesar Garcia same here man , I was playing football (soccer) I broke my ankle then after month in cast I couldn't lift my foot up , then happen same thing to my other foot . I lost my hope I'll be able to play football again 😑
I have had chronic back pain flair ups for years, back injections, physical therapy, a discectomy was mentioned appx 3 years ago, but I was not interested. Then I woke up one morning Oct 2014 and had foot drop. Went to Physical Therapy for 6 weeks use a Tens Machine. Went back to the doctor he said my condition has gotten worse. I have a appt to see a Spine Surgeon. I have noticed that my walking is getting more difficult, and I trip quite frequently, sometimes fall. I really don't want surgery, but I am afraid that is where I am headed. I want to know if I agree to surgery, will I recover from drop foot? I have had MRI's done, and I do have DDD, from what I have been told my L5 S1 looks hideous. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Dr. Ebraheim, I have partial footdrop which I am told resulted from a popliteal block given to repair a spontaneous ruptured peroneal tendon. I had polyneuropathy which was undiagnosed at the time of the block and tendon repair. Have you ever seen an injury such as this respond to any type of treatment. I have constant pain/numbness in my foot/walking and balance problems. I would go anywhere to be able to solve this injury. Thank you so much for your time in answering. I live in Pennsylvania.
Is foot drop something that can arise from MS or a rare form of severe hemipelegic migrajbe? I ended up with stroke-like symptoms one day, including my whole right side. Recovered most of the use of my right arm, but the doorstop is not getting any better ...
Susan Payne MS and Strokes do cause this “ Foot Drop” , keep your faith - anything and everything can be reversed - raise your energy vibration level and believe in yourself to heal yourself . We each have the “ The Power “ of self healing . There are TH-cam frequency sounds that help you raise your frequency vibration to self heal.
I certainly agree with a couple of others said - it's not as easy than it sounds to find a natural remedy for neuropathy. Be careful and take advice from experts. I searched round a few sites and discovered a lot of great advice by searching google on websites such as Gabs Neuro Guide. Good luck and hope you succeed!
I got my foot drop by playing tennis, no injury or anything but had soreness in the lower left leg. It has been 3 days now, how long did yours go away?
Please peroneal nerve injury recover person pls tell me about peroneal nerve injury i do theraphies me ankle pe khada ni hoparaha weakness ke karan what can i do
Great... 23y and got right foot drop while staying at home and playing PC games, and out of the blue the foot drop... and now idk how I will have to work at construction sites... crazy that I got this so randomly and thats like a lifetime problem to fix
I have suffered tripped fallen for ten over my feet dragging. I have worn devices to lift the foot with out positive results,my neurologist says it is foot drop. I though it was part of my neurological condition of ATAXIA so thought I had exhausted all systems of help. Your video has shown me there may still be help out there. I am going to seek another doctor ans ask about tendon transfer. Thank You for your educational video.
Sounds good! My baby g toe will not move up. My other toes are strating to move up. I am numb a lot in my right front and bottom foot. Had three back surgeries and surgeon said nothing he could do for foot drop. Said if it doesn't come back in Two years then no hope! I got 6 months to go and will be two years. I am really trying. I hope it comes back!
I've have right foot drop. Over the years I've had herniated discL4 L5 S1 I've seen neurologist been seen specialist for test they can operate on my lower back, but I rather not. Does lower back nerve damage cause heat and coldness , cramps in lower affected right leg and foot.
I have been injured when I was 6 years old. The bullet had hit my head since I was six years old and I could not walk properly. I did many exercises on my legs but got no positive results. I did surgery on my legs in Afghanistan when I was 17 years old and still, I am not able to walk properly. Therefore, the doctors said that “it is because of your encephalon problems” and Food Drop Issues. Do any Recommendations Please?
Hello Dr Ebraheim. Thank you or your videos. I am one year recovery from l4/l5 herniation. I have had mild foot drop. dorsiflex weakness. I can walk walk and flex the foot but it is not fully recovered. Walking is not the same as pre injury. I was told to wait and that this could recovery with therapy but it has not improved and the tibial muscle that controls the doors flex is atrophying. What is my prognosis in your opinion? Is this damage to the peroneal nerve permanent? Is there still hope for full recovery without surgery? When is it too late to do something about it? Thank you.
I understand your pain. I got drop foot when I was 23 & just graduated from PSU. I had a shoe obsession that had to go into hibernation since this injury not only changes your life but your sense of self. Shoe shopping is very difficult but thank the Almighty that flats have become amazingly fashionable (although sometimes an outfit only heels will make). Online shopping for shoes allows a larger variety but depending on your brace you porobably have to try them out.
Yes I agree with you have written - definately not as easy than it sounds to treat neuropathy at home. You should be aware of this and take advice from experts. I searched round a few sites and found a lot of expert help by searching google on sites such as Gabs Neuro Guide. I wish you luck and hope you succeed!
I certainly accept what you have written - it's not as easy than some people make out to find a natural remedy for neuropathy. Be careful and get help from experts. I searched a few sites and discovered a lot of good advice by searching google on sites like Neuro pro planner. Good luck and hope you succeed!
There are many factors in reducing neuropathy quickly . One resource I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Neuro pro planner (google it if you're interested) definately the best plan i've heard of. look at the great info .
Hey i just got shot right below the knee about a week ago thankfully i didnt need surgery as the doctors said the bullet went thru in and out of my meat right next to my shin but it did fracture alot of bones am i having foot drop becasue of how swollen my bones are right now its putting squeezing my nerves will i recover
Es la mejor explicación que he recibido. Por secuela de polio tengo un pie caido que fue operado cuando pequeña. El pie derecho se mejoró solo y fue operado para corregir que al caminar lo hacia con toda la parte interna del pie. Ese el pie que sufrió la caída ya que al caer de rodillas se extendió en contra de la fijación. Tengo el movimiento reducido. No puedo girarlo alrededor de si mismo. Estoy haciendo hace más de dos años ejercicios... mejora pero poco. Se mejora el pie y la rodilla se cansa con pocos pasos, se empieza a aflojarse hacia adelanlate. Y la izquierda tiene una ortesis y no ayuda mucho. Gracias por estás explotaciones

Can a foot drop from back injury be distinguished from foot drop coming from the nervous system? My friend has foot drop and they did not run any tests because they "knew" it was from his weak back. But he also has a diet deficient in basically all vitamins (only eats super processed "food"), hasn't had any fresh food for 15 years and refuses vitamins. Also he takes statins and has side effects from those. How can they be sure the foot drop is from his back and not from beriberi or statin side effects?
Long story short. Neurologist determined my Peroneal nerve from my knee down was damaged. Had every symptom of Foot drop including massive numbing. Based of many tests estimated heal time was 3 years nerve 10 years for numbness to go away. I wore a ankle brace I bought from Frys (Gel Padding), took massive amounts of L-Glutamine, Massive amounts of vegetables and ULTRA healthy diet, applied heat and stimulated the muscle with exercises.

@wobblechopps MAY NEED TENDON TRANSFERS
yes it can
follow it ,use EMG and nerve studies
may need surgery
thanks
i have several videos that are very good
@crashdaveAAKK Your injury/story is almost identical to mine. I too hyper-extended my knee(left), resulting in the same ACL/LCL damage but luckily it was only a first degree tear meaning I didn't need surgery. It's been 10 months since my injury and I'm still dealing with drop foot. It has gotten a lot better though, I can move 4 of my toes and my ankle a bit.
@TCMAUMEE great
@kaleidoscopekay yes ,you are correct
a brace is worn to support the foot
@wobblechopps see a doc
tendon transfer may help you
@Allibaby78 great comment
I had foot drop case since to 2013 of left leg. How can I contact you doctor. Please help me
Did your foot cured
@NYOrthoRN thanks
Would be useful to also cover how to specifically differentiate between foot drop from L5 radiculopathy and a peroneal injury since these are the two most common causes and a frequent source of test questions :D
However, I thought this was a GREAT video, very helpful, ty for making it.

I have had chronic back pain flair ups for years, back injections, physical therapy, a discectomy was mentioned appx 3 years ago, but I was not interested. Then I woke up one morning Oct 2014 and had foot drop. Went to Physical Therapy for 6 weeks use a Tens Machine. Went back to the doctor he said my condition has gotten worse. I have a appt to see a Spine Surgeon. I have noticed that my walking is getting more difficult, and I trip quite frequently, sometimes fall. I really don't want surgery, but I am afraid that is where I am headed. I want to know if I agree to surgery, will I recover from drop foot? I have had MRI's done, and I do have DDD, from what I have been told my L5 S1 looks hideous. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Dr. Ebraheim, I have partial footdrop which I am told resulted from a popliteal block given to repair a spontaneous ruptured peroneal tendon. I had polyneuropathy which was undiagnosed at the time of the block and tendon repair. Have you ever seen an injury such as this respond to any type of treatment. I have constant pain/numbness in my foot/walking and balance problems. I would go anywhere to be able to solve this injury. Thank you so much for your time in answering. I live in Pennsylvania.
Is foot drop something that can arise from MS or a rare form of severe hemipelegic migrajbe? I ended up with stroke-like symptoms one day, including my whole right side. Recovered most of the use of my right arm, but the doorstop is not getting any better ...
Susan Payne MS and Strokes do cause this “ Foot Drop” , keep your faith - anything and everything can be reversed - raise your energy vibration level and believe in yourself to heal yourself . We each have the “ The Power “ of self healing . There are TH-cam frequency sounds that help you raise your frequency vibration to self heal.
@94brigate watch the recovery
be patient
I certainly agree with a couple of others said - it's not as easy than it sounds to find a natural remedy for neuropathy.
Be careful and take advice from experts. I searched round a few sites and discovered a lot of great advice by searching google on websites such as Gabs Neuro Guide. Good luck and hope you succeed!
Hello, if no recovery after a reasonable time, at the end of the video; how many months do you refer to? A nerve repair is possible after 6 months?
@SenseShine1 a bad disc can cause a foot drop
thanks
I got my foot drop by playing tennis, no injury or anything but had soreness in the lower left leg. It has been 3 days now, how long did yours go away?
Please peroneal nerve injury recover person pls tell me about peroneal nerve injury i do theraphies me ankle pe khada ni hoparaha weakness ke karan what can i do
Great... 23y and got right foot drop while staying at home and playing PC games, and out of the blue the foot drop... and now idk how I will have to work at construction sites... crazy that I got this so randomly and thats like a lifetime problem to fix
I have suffered tripped fallen for ten over my feet dragging. I have worn devices to lift the foot with out positive results,my neurologist says it is foot drop. I though it was part of my neurological condition of ATAXIA so thought I had exhausted all systems of help. Your video has shown me there may still be help out there. I am going to seek another doctor ans ask about tendon transfer. Thank You for your educational video.
Can TENS stimulation of the peroneal nerve help improve foot drop?
Good question! Curious too.
@MrVickydoc thanks
Sounds good! My baby g toe will not move up. My other toes are strating to move up. I am numb a lot in my right front and bottom foot. Had three back surgeries and surgeon said nothing he could do for foot drop. Said if it doesn't come back in Two years then no hope! I got 6 months to go and will be two years. I am really trying. I hope it comes back!

@tmorant thanks
Excellent description of foot drop and the nerve injury.
I've have right foot drop. Over the years I've had herniated discL4 L5 S1 I've seen neurologist been seen specialist for test they can operate on my lower back, but I rather not. Does lower back nerve damage cause heat and coldness , cramps in lower affected right leg and foot.
thanks
I just had miscarriage and i went home with sciatica and foot drop. Im just only 35 years old! I am unable to walk.

Who is here after practising his power shots
I have been injured when I was 6 years old. The bullet had hit my head since I was six years old and I could not walk properly. I did many exercises on my legs but got no positive results. I did surgery on my legs in Afghanistan when I was 17 years old and still, I am not able to walk properly. Therefore, the doctors said that “it is because of your encephalon problems” and Food Drop Issues. Do any Recommendations Please?
Hello Dr Ebraheim. Thank you or your videos. I am one year recovery from l4/l5 herniation. I have had mild foot drop. dorsiflex weakness. I can walk walk and flex the foot but it is not fully recovered. Walking is not the same as pre injury. I was told to wait and that this could recovery with therapy but it has not improved and the tibial muscle that controls the doors flex is atrophying. What is my prognosis in your opinion? Is this damage to the peroneal nerve permanent? Is there still hope for full recovery without surgery? When is it too late to do something about it? Thank you.
I understand your pain. I got drop foot when I was 23 & just graduated from PSU. I had a shoe obsession that had to go into hibernation since this injury not only changes your life but your sense of self. Shoe shopping is very difficult but thank the Almighty that flats have become amazingly fashionable (although sometimes an outfit only heels will make). Online shopping for shoes allows a larger variety but depending on your brace you porobably have to try them out.

Yes I agree with you have written - definately not as easy than it sounds to treat neuropathy at home.
You should be aware of this and take advice from experts. I searched round a few sites and found a lot of expert help by searching google on sites such as Gabs Neuro Guide. I wish you luck and hope you succeed!
I certainly accept what you have written - it's not as easy than some people make out to find a natural remedy for neuropathy.
Be careful and get help from experts. I searched a few sites and discovered a lot of good advice by searching google on sites like Neuro pro planner. Good luck and hope you succeed!
There are many factors in reducing neuropathy quickly . One resource I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Neuro pro planner (google it if you're interested) definately the best plan i've heard of. look at the great info .

Es la mejor explicación que he recibido. Por secuela de polio tengo un pie caido que fue operado cuando pequeña. El pie derecho se mejoró solo y fue operado para corregir que al caminar lo hacia con toda la parte interna del pie. Ese el pie que sufrió la caída ya que al caer de rodillas se extendió en contra de la fijación. Tengo el movimiento reducido. No puedo girarlo alrededor de si mismo. Estoy haciendo hace más de dos años ejercicios... mejora pero poco. Se mejora el pie y la rodilla se cansa con pocos pasos, se empieza a aflojarse hacia adelanlate. Y la izquierda tiene una ortesis y no ayuda mucho. Gracias por estás explotaciones

how to distinguish foot drop from calf cramp?
nice information ...thanks
Can a foot drop from back injury be distinguished from foot drop coming from the nervous system? My friend has foot drop and they did not run any tests because they "knew" it was from his weak back. But he also has a diet deficient in basically all vitamins (only eats super processed "food"), hasn't had any fresh food for 15 years and refuses vitamins. Also he takes statins and has side effects from those. How can they be sure the foot drop is from his back and not from beriberi or statin side effects?
Hi sir...knee replacement on 4.5.18. Ahter that muje foot drop ho gya ...i take pshytherophy ..But no better result......What do we want....Plz reply
