Hello, new to the forum so i do apologize if this topic is in the wrong section.
I've been told by my Dr. that i suffer from 'Drop Foot' and was sent for an EMG test last week. I wasnt told anything there but have an appointment to see my Dr., who said i could maybe have an operation, i'm due to see him on the 16th December. I guess i will find out then the full diagnosis.
I have no idea how this has come about i've never had an operation before, i've never broke/damaged anything so i'm abit stumped at to how this has come about.
What i was wondering though, my Dr. told me if i got the go ahead for the operation he would remove one nerve from the side of my foot an place it into the front of my foot. Should it work then i'm all for it, what i'd like to know though is if this operation was done and successful how long is my recovery time ? Whether it be weeks/months.
Any info would be great
