Right foot starting to drag 😕

[janetb1968]

I've noticed my right foot has been dragging lately and I've no idea what to do about it 😕. No bed at hospital yet still being patient as possible.

janetb1968 get your doc to refer you to the physio and they will fit you with an AFO. Also you can buy them off Amazon, as you have to cut them to the shape of your insole of your shoe. They are great in winter, really help pick up the foot and you can hide them under your trousers. Summer with them being plastic you tend to sweat a lot. Blessings Jimeka 🎄

That did cross my mind thanks Jimeka Im seeing physio at work because of occy health x

janetb1968 also if your nhs authority is more amiable than mine, they can provide you with a FES. Apparently I didn't fit the criteria for one, as you have to be put forward by your doctor, then physio, then approved by the NHS body. I went private but couldn't afford it in the end, and because I had gone private, the NHS didn't like it, even though I ticked all the boxes. The FES was brilliant, I could walk nearly normal after only wearing it for 10 minutes. Talk it over with your doc/physio, it's worth a shot. Blessings Jimeka 🎅🏻

You should let your neurologist know what is going on he will let you know.
