A member asked:
I damaged my acl & perneal nerve causing foot drop. is burning & pain normal? what can they do to treat the foot drop and will i get sensation back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MBB brace is best: If the nerve is damaged then foot drop may be permanent. The brace I described is the latest. Very comfortable and unintrusive. Therapy can help wth strength and reeducation of the muscles.
