drop foot, not sure about; but i did have an issue with a rupture at the L5-S1 disc that was pushing on the nerve. got to the point i could not walk as the right leg would buckle under pressure. i had been through chiroprators, acupuncture, physical therapy, etc. finally got so bad i could not walk and i went to the ER (actually my wife drove me since i could not sit in the driver's seat and press the brake). i was set for a spinal injection for pain about 4-5 weeks out. i also had been in physical therapy for 6 weeks, gone back to the orthopedist and was sent for another 6 weeks. everyone seemed set on doing things other than operation. finally, the trip to the ER got me in and the surgery (microdiscectomy) occured a day later. pain relief was occured immediately. it took quite a while (almost 12 months) for the nerve to feel normal again, but pain was gone and everything started to get better. it was nice to finally be on a different trend than continual and increasing pain. i hope you finally get relief as it really was one of the darker periods in my life.
i'm not offering much in the way of help, but it is definitely something that you can't appreciate until you have experienced. i wish you the best.
