A member asked:

If mri scan results come clear then what is the outcome of having a drop foot on left leg?

Drop Foot: Drop foot is a neuromuscular issue....And is usually related to a medical condition or nerve impingement. An MRI is not definitive for drop foot.....See someone who treats drop foot...And get a complete workup. Only then will you know the outcome.

If you have a : Drop foot i would recommend aggressive physical therapy. Likely, you will need a brace known as an afo. Drop foot is a result of damage or weakness of the nerve that supplies the muscle.

Depends: The outcome of foot drop in difficult to predict. It depends on the cause. There can be an injury to the spine with or without disc herniation. An injury to the nerves anywhere along from the spine to the lower leg can produce similar symptoms. There can also be a neuropathy or muscle injury which causes foot drop. When you and your Doctors find the cause, then you can treat and predict recovery.
