In addition to numerous other back symptoms and problems, I have recently noticed that I am tripping a lot. I wear sandals in the summer since I cannot wear anything with heals and don't like to wear sneakers everyday. They are not too big and they are snug (they are slides but have velcro and I can tighten them around my foot).... but I find myself tripping (right foot only - I never trip with my left foot) and catching the top of the sandal on the ground numerous times a day. I have a feeling that I would be doing the same thing even if I wore my sneakers...
If anyone here has foot drop, how did you begin to notice the problem?
Did you just begin to notice that you were not lifting your foot off the ground as much as the other?
I have already been diagnosed as a CP patient regarding my back and neck - I have already had 2 surgeries at L5-S1 and although I could go in for fusion, the doctors think that it may make other problems worse..
Anyway, Would like to hear from anyone who suffers from foot drop, how they noticed the problem, and what has happened since...
Thanks.
