Foot drop - symptom of MS?

Have you consulted with your healthcare provider regarding this? It's better to address the problem as soon as you can in order to not let the condition deteriorate.

Hello everyone! How are you?

Have you also experienced foot drop as a symptom of MS? What do you use to help you walk?

Take care now,

I've had this issue for a while. I use a cane, walking chair and scooter to get around.

I have drop foot on my left foot. You can get the sports tape at the pharmacy that you can get directions on YouTube to use and it has helped me. It helps you use your muscles instead of an AFO that will help but your muscles atrophy. It is also very helpful to get physical therapy. I was able to get it as home care and my Medicare covered it. I hope this helps!!
