Foot drop/curling toes

[twist330]

I been having a problem with my toes curling under on my right foot. I walk with this foot slightly turned out, and this foot and leg is the one I have neuropasthic pain in.

I went to see my neuro rehab Dr the other day and they Dx weakness in the toes and slight weakness in the foot. They referred me to Orthrotic whom I went to see yesterday. He could see that there is wear on the top of my toes and felt if this continued I would end up with corns. He felt the only thing they could offer was a silicone piece that sits under my toes and is held in place by a piece that goes around one toe.

I not sure how successful this will be as I have never been able to wear flip flops as I can't stand anything between my toes! and they have always made my toes curl. I explained this and he just commented that he had the same problem!

My question is - Is this the first signs of foot drop?

Thanks all

Thanks Bairdy

My arch in my right foot has dropped to but the orthrotist didn't even look at that!

Perhaps a Podiatrist would be bettter.
Thanks again
