new to forum/can anyone move there toes

[codogno]

First i want to say my thoughts are with you all.I am so happy there is a forum like this, ive looked multiple times to find one and here we are . my drop foot was due to a cavernoma malformation on the right motor strip in the brain which effects the left motor skills, 6/09 i had a crainiotomy which thankfully stopped the leaking but left my left leg weak, foot dropped unable to move toes at all. i was wondering if anyone's condition was a result of something similar. and is anyone with a drop foot able to move there toes. i thank you for taking the time to read the short version of my story. I hope u all had a blessed Thanksgiving

No, I can't move my toes. The foot drop and inability to move toes its a result of muscle loss. This is a characteristic symptom of ALS.

Foot drop can be a sign of other things and not ALS so don't panic yet.

Welcome to the forum!

thank you for your insite. i left a message on your page thanking u for these forums. as ive looked for a while for support groups. i wasnt sure if this site was for me as i didnt want to intrude on others conditions that didnt have foot drop. my foot drop came as result of leaking vessels in the brain which is called cavernoma malformation , which was leaning on the right motor strip. i had a crainiotomy 6/09 which made the drop worse, which is ok cause im here. but very stressful to not move foot toes at all when my head wants to,,,,anyway sorry so long. but thank you i was just wondering if everyone with a footdrop can not move there toes..... god bless and thank you again

I've had left foot drop for nearly 20 months now and can still move the foot and toes, and even walk on the foot, albeit poorly and only with the aid of a walker.
