Went to dr for "foot drop" issue. dr suspects tibial muscular dystrophy. what will they do? how bad is tmd diagnoses? what else could it be?

See below: Simple way to sort out, as an EMG study can evaluate a peroneal neuropathy, and evaluate presence or absence of a muscle disease. If you are diabetic (metformin), your most likely answer is a diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

2 unrelated issues: and should be treated separately. 1. See your GP for "foot drop," a potentially complex problem, and referral to a neurologist. 2. See an Orofacial Pain specialist for TMJ diagnosis and treatment.
