Nerve injury v strok: As Dr. Davida noted, nerve damage can cause foot drop. But so can a stroke or spinal cord injury. So go see your FamilyDoc & Neurologist for evaluation & treatment. Don't wait until you trip and break something. Check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/foot-drop/basics/definition/con-20032918 for more info.
