Hi. I can only imagine what you have gone through. And I’m glad that you have recovered. The thing is for the foot drop you need to consult orthopaedic doctor as they can help you with some splints and on surgical intervention if any possible to correct the condition or can only be treated by physiotherapy. I’m no expert but I hope they may be able to help you.
Next Steps
Consult orthopaedic doctor
