Hi,
I had knee surgery this past weekend-- arthroscopy to repair cartilege. My knee's real solid and feels good. However the foot on that same side doesn't seem to bend upwards. I can get the foot to about 90 degrees. Over the weekend my toes wouldn't move either, but I can now bend them up slightly, near the other foot. Anyway, I went into the doctor today and they said it's probably a peroneal nerver problem. He felt around the backside of my nee and I had tingling down through my foot. He said this indicated that the nerve was intact and that it will just take longer to recover. Then he started talking about braces and mentioned the term 'foot drop'.
So I am wondering if anyone else has had foot drop in a related situation. Can you tell me your experience? Are you recovered, how long did it take, did any therapy work for you, etc? Apreciate the input.
Thanks, julie |
