Just wondering if anyone had a similar experience. I had a large calcified herniated disc at L4/L5. It was attached to the nerve itself. Had a laminectomy/discectomy 7/28. Had foot drop of 3/5 prior to surgery. After surgery realized I couldn’t lift my left foot at all. Went home with a walker. Since then I can now flex my toes down but still unable to lift my big toe. Waiting on my custom AFO to come in after a nice fight with insurance… I just love BCBS… the surgeon keeps saying let’s give it more time. Has anyone had worsen foot drop after surgery and actually regained strength in their foot? The orthopedist that fit me for my AFO did not give me a lot of hope.
