A member asked:
Can i ever recover from drop foot?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: I would recommend PT. That really helps and I have seen people recover. The degree of recovery varies as some people fully recover and some partially. Also braces for drop foot really help.

Foot drop: is definitely a recoverable condition for many patients depending on the level of injury. Some recover 100% however some do not. There are many excellent treatment options available conservatively and surgically!
