My mom has foot drop from a car accident in her 20s (shes 60 now) and this video helped clarify her injury to me. She wears a type of brace that seems to help her a lot. My dads a podiatrist, she got the brace at a podiatry convention they went to last year and she wished she had it a long time ago.
I can't help but wish I was smarter! 😅😅 I did day care for most my life.. School of hard knocks. Abused as a child. But this woman.. She makes me feel welcomed. I like that. Maybe she only wanted drs to follow her. I don't know. But I am a fan of her great intelligence and hard work and down to earth attitude! ❤
Wait!?!? What if you have an inflamed IT band? Can that hit the nerve and cause foot drop? I get it once in a while and I have IT band problems I have to stay on top of stretching
What after FBSS? 9 years ago they removed a SC hernia. Since I have nervepain in my back/right leg. Over the years I had 1 low frequency spss, 1 high frequency spss but neither did help with the pain, I also got a pain pump implanted but got bacterial meningitis and almost died so they removed it. Basically nothing works, I'm taking all kinds of medication and opioids but I barely can do anything. My neurosurgeon says there is nothing more to do but I'm 37 years old, I can't live like a prisoner for the rest of my life. Do you have advise?
I was in a horrific crash about 4 years ago.. No strength in my left arm anymore, chronic back and shoulder pain, AND I drag my left leg going up ramps and such. I went to a spine doctor to no avail besides neck and back surgery. 1 year of pt and here I am.. walking sucks.. standing sucks even more and only thing that helps is sitting. Yay. Lol.
I have foot drop as a result of a severe vitamin b12 deficiency 10 years ago, which wasn’t dealt with sooner as my GP was adamant that it was anxiety when I went in worried about paraesthesia affecting all 4 limbs and an inability to stay awake… took me collapsing, breaking my arm in the process and having to demand that they admit me to hospital. After 2 days the medical doctors finally examined my reflexes, and they were so wrong that I almost kicked one wher it would’ve hurt him a lot 😬, they got the neurologist down. She immediately wanted bloods taken again and when the results came through, she came to me and told me that my levels were the lowest she had ever seen in a patient still able to breathe for themselves. I had lost control of my body almost entirely. It took me 6 months to learn to walk again, not helped by the fact that I have also got hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. It’s was a very scary time and I now make sure to get my B12 jabs every 10 weeks or I feel bad really quickly
I got foot drop after an upper and lower chronic exertion compartment fasciotomy. My back and abbs became so weak after my surgery . They did a low back mri but found nothing. Any advice ? I don’t cross my legs while sitting but do peg on one leg at a time while standing.
Thank you, thank you, I was recently in car accident and am continuously complaining about this ,and had a Pompus Man surgeon ,brush me off and say O it's Arthritis 😮. I'm literally dragging my left foot.
My mom had the same issue. Car accident in her 20s and she still has foot drop in her 60s. She wears a special brace that helps her but I would definitely get a second opinion and see what you can do to treat it now, because it affects her balance and mobility a lot.
What nerve would be the reason for your foot refusing to respond when you try to lift it after about 200 reps taking penalty kicks? And when I say "refusing" it's a weird thing to describe, it's like you know you're trying, you can feel it wanting to respond and it almost tickles to to try but it just won't lift. I fixed the issue when I learned to lock my ankle out when kicking (duh, right?) but I used to roll my ankle constantly for days after PK reps because my toes would drag.
Love your channel!!! I do neuromonitoring for a lot of the spine procedures often covered on your channel. we monitor the peroneal nerve (and many others) during these cases in efforts to reduce the risk of foot drop and other neural deficits. i was wondering if you could share your take on neuromonitoring? do you use it for some/all/none of your cases?

I got foot drop from a sciatica attack 2 months ago. It's not 100% better, and it's terrifying 😢
Awww you have a “from licensed doctor” banner now :)

I’ve recently started frequently popping that joint when I lay down and cross my leg, but yeah now I’ll do that less often…

I have to have injections in my fibula head. That bone will clink out at times. I also have CRPS in that knee. I also had both knees replaced.
What about crossing with one leg 90degrees to the other. What you typically see men do. Dont hate me. Look around most men cross like that.

Your posts have taught me so much! Thank you, Mary
Hey new best friend. Love your videos. # GirlsRock
What causes foot drop for inpatients that have extended bedbound admissions?

Is this why my legs/feet get pins and needles and go numb when I sit crossed legged on a hard floor?
My grandpa had drop foot and sometimes wore a brace.. I forget how it happened tho
Note to self: don't cross legs at the knee ever again!
So for foot drop, is there any way to make it better or cure it?
I love your posts! So informative!!
Omg thank you for doing this video. I have been struggling with this exact problem ❤❤❤
Well this explains a lot 😂😂
My son has Charcot Marie Tooth disease. This can lead to foot drop. I learn from your videos. Thanks

Can you talk more about nerve issues around the knees? Esp in regards to arthritis or swelling/inflammation?
I get foot drop everytime I get shingles lol. It sucks and walking is horrid
Excellent lesson
Holy crap!
Crazy
Is this the reason getting kicked in the shins hurts so bad?
As always I thank you for answering these questions
Great explanation!!
Now I know where to kick 😂
what is foot drop?
The inability to raise the front part of the foot due to weakness or paralysis of the muscles that lift the foot.
That was so interesting! Thanks!!❤️
