Q: does top of foot numbness mean foot drop? no gait issues but have a tremor on same side. neuro appt isnt for weeks and unsure if foot numbness is a major concern?

: No, numbness is a sensory problem and foot drop is a motor problem. You should not worry much in the mean time, please patiently wait for the neuro appointment. Take care and good luck to you.
