foot drop

All, I am a 50 year old male. I have read the stickys and appreciate you all being here. I have had twitching, primarily in right buttock, hamstring and right arm, but am having them in other areas as well, just not as frequent. I have not been able to do a standing calf lift on my right leg...

Hi everyone! I want to ask you a question. I know what foot drop is but what is "toe drop"? I have read a comment "I had toe drop in my left foot" is it the same thing as foot drop? Or is it something different?

Hello all, I'm currently driving myself crazy with worry, and hoping some on this forum will be able to help me see my confusing symptoms more clearly. I am obviously hoping I do not have a serious disease, and I have read the stickies (multiple times). I'll start with some background...

I first noticed foot drop in January on my right leg and ankle causing a pronounced limp. But a few times I have had spasticity in both legs that has made it very difficult to walk. So far, this stiffness has gone away after a few minutes or hours but it feels like it is happening more often...

In January, I went for a walk when I was in Chicago for work. I was alarmed to feel my right foot drop as I walked. Nowhere in my imagination did I think it would be ALS. I got a neurologist appointment and he did some tests and sent me for first a neck and then head MRI. The report stated that...

I was diagnosed on July 25, 2017 with ALS after about one year of foot drop in my right foot that progressed to leg weakness, falls and shortness of breath with minimal exertion and fatigue. I can still drive and walk with an AFO and a cane. I am still working full time but this is getting more...

Hi everyone. I have not been to my first ALS Clinic visit, its next Thursday July 20th @ Stony Brook University. I am surprised and nervous at how quickly by annoying foot drop and progressed to where I am at the moment. I am still able to drive and can get around as long as I am walking with...

Hello everyone. I hope to get some insights from you, since I have been worried wick for about a year now because of the different symptoms that I've been experiencing. It all started about a year ago when I noticed that the left side of my body would get pins and needles faster than the other...

Hi and thank you for this forum. In my sheer panic days I was a regular poster ands always treated courteously and kindly -even the tough love I was given was correct and well intentioned.. I am still in limbo land. Diagnosed as we stand by an excellent UK mnd/als centre with bfs and...

Brian was diagnosed with ALS. We had known for since 6/15/2016, when suddenly one day his left hand could no longer do what his right hand could. Added to the foot drop, the dirty EMG, the clean MRI and blood work I knew for sure there was no other explanation. He still held out a little hope...
