I have had footdrop in left foot for about a year now...and footdrop in rt. foot since a couple months ago. I have noticied that left foot was getting harder to lift ..this week I find it no longer lifts..nor my leg. I had to literally pick up my leg to get it in the car this morning. :roll:
Besides being ..yes..depressed...any tips tricks..anything to help me get around. I am walking at the speed of a turtle...:lol:
Is it time for a walking aid...crutches...cane...wheelchair...
Again, I am in a spot here because I have been diagnosed 2x with ALS but insurance won't cover anything till I get diagnosed by their doc. That is in the process..dr. seeing me in Nov again to see progress and between now and then have been tested for Hungitons, wilsons and some other rare ones that came back clear.
P.T. has done nothing but made me more tired and harder to move.
Help friends!
