    foot drop for 3 years, cause still unknown

    I know why I don't remember anything about that EMG report. Because that moron neurologist from Brisbane never gave one! Yes, damn public hospitals,with completely incompetent useless doctors. I can't really blame my husband not wanting to go back to that guy again. Unfortunately the two visits...

    foot drop for 3 years, cause still unknown

    I'm not worried, I'm frustrated, like u said, t's not a healthy way to progress. The EMG report, hmmm, three years old, I don't even know if he kept it, but I gonna have a look tomorrow. I can't remember what exactly was on that EMG. In regards to his symptoms, well, his right leg is weaker and...

    foot drop for 3 years, cause still unknown

    Thank guys for all your replies! Gosh, given a diagnoses of ALS for someone who has something else, that's really sucks! I remember, my husband's specialist, he scared the hell out of him too, though he gave few different possibilities. The EMG showed some atrophy, but was inconclusive, like all...

    foot drop for 3 years, cause still unknown

    Hi Al, I'm sorry that the back surgery didn't help your friend. But it's good that he's got less pain. Do you know how he got diagnosed? My husband's MRI and xrays didn't show much at the time. (3 years ago) He didn't have any screenings since then. Would it be possible that nobody noticed...

    foot drop for 3 years, cause still unknown

    Yes, he had EMG at the very beginning, when he saw that neurologist who wanted to do further tests, one was to take fluid from the spine, but hubby thought it would be pointless cause whatever it is, it's either not curable or if it is curable, it would be only with surgery, which he's too...

    foot drop for 3 years, cause still unknown

    Hi Everyone! About 3 years ago my husband developed this foot drop in his right leg. He done all the check, MRI, xrays, etc, but there was nothing to indicate what would be causing it. I think the only thing they excluded was MS. He visited a neuro guy twice, he couldn't come up with anything...

    Hi! I read one of your post, can't find it, about your foot drop. I wanted to ask you if you...

    Hi! I read one of your post, can't find it, about your foot drop. I wanted to ask you if you have experienced any deterioration with it in the first year? My husband has this foot drop more than a year now and is exactly the same , or maybe even a little bit better as he had very bad pain at...

    walk aid device

    Yes, it does say it is designed for people with stoke, but it also say it helps with foot drop. And in that 10 min he tried the device it did work. Would that mean that those who have foot drop due to als it wouldn't work at all?

    walk aid device

    Thank you guys for the feedback. My husband already got a brace (got that one for free), and it does help a lot, without it, it would be very hard to walk, but as nightbird has mentioned, this little device could be life changing. I hope the QLD government can finance maybe some of it. I came...
