I can't stand on tiptoes on my right foot why ? i did a microdiscectomy surgery in l5 s1 before 2 weeks. is this nerve damage or what?is there a cure?

Maybe : You really need to go see the surgeon who operated on you and evaluate the causes of your inability to stand on your tiptoes. If these changes are sudden you need to go to the ER
