Footdrop recovery - 2 weeks since onset, 1 wk since recovery started, does this mean anything 4 how much mobility i will regain (was 0/5, now 1/5)?

Speed of recovery: Depends on what extent of nerve injured. If the myelin coverings, may have good and full outcome within 4-5 weeks after causation control. If the axon was hurt, this could take many months, with regrowth speed about 0.1mm daily. Sounds like you may well have nerve coverings involved, and prediction of substantial recovery is likely..

Foot drop: It sounds like from what you are saying...That you are making a recovery depending on what caused your foot drop...Depends on your recovery and muscle strength.
