Numbness & heat on "foot drop" leg. Any thoughts?

[golditoo]

I have foot drop from a fall on black ice and have had surgery, although it didn't help much. I've now noticed that when I stand for a long period, the front of my thigh (on the affected leg) starts feeling "numb" and then very warm/hot. I imagine this is the nerves acting up, but it's new to me. Any advice?

I have definitely heard of this.  You need to see the neurologist again, I'm sad to say.  You probably still have a compressed nerve that is causing the numbness in the upper part of your leg.  Is the foot drop better since surgery? Does stretching help you at all?

Come back and let me know how you are doing.
