A member asked:
Ice for peroneal nerve problem causing foot drop? would that help?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No, ice will not.: No, ice will not, probably help. Foot drop is caused by a serious injury to the common peroneal nerve, and/or entrapment of the nerve causing paralysis of the peroneal muscles. Seek medical help asap, you do not want this to become a permanent paralysis !

No: Ice can actually make it worse if applied to common peroneal nerve.
