hi.
Firstly, please mention your age and gender.
Foot drop is most common in cases of L5/S1 nerve damage/pinching/herniation because of the following:
Muscle damage
Skeletal abnormalities
Nerve damage
Specific conditions and diseases that lead to foot drop are:
Lower back condition (disc herniation/lumbar stenosis/spondylolisthesis/bone fractures)
Parkinson’s disease
Motor neuron diseases
Diabetes
Multiple sclerosis
And the injury to the foot or lower limbs
In your case, it seems to be the L5 nerve damage but I would like to know how did this damage happen? Is there any part of your foot that is numb or has ‘pins and needle’ sensation?
In a typical case of foot drop, afoot drop brace or splints are provided for stabilization followed by physical therapy. In case the foot drop is caused by a lower back issue, then a specific set of surgical procedures are suggested.
