Drop foot

Post by Ben Ismail »

Hi everybody..Im from Denmark my name is Ben ..I m new in this forum..
I like to get some help..thanks
last year 30-06-03 I had a car accident and I broke my hip acetabular fracture..I was operated : approach ilioinguinal , they fixed my hip and I thaught that it was ok..but I found out that I couldnt raise my foot ( drop foot ) and I had a very strong pain..like elctricity..in my foot..I tryed everything..nirotrin, Gagabantin..Methadon..but nothing helps..now it s one year ago and I begin to learn to use to this pain even its hard..but I cant go and I cant run ...I can stand up on my left leg but I cant stand up on the right one ..the sick one..I loose balance ...
I remember when I woke up in the car I couldnt raise my foot..It s mean maybe I had a nerve damage before the operation..the Dr said that I got a pæreneus nerve damage...
Can anybody tell me if there is possibility to be operated and repair this nerve and can I go one day
Is anybody who got the same problem..
What about tendon transfer ..is it a good solution?? or another one..
I got hope and I believe that one day I can walk normal and maybe play soccer again...
thank you
sincerely Ben

Dear Ben
I hope that u will try to forget this pain by thinking of ur family and try to concentrate of something else than the pain.
Nerve can grow again ..but it takes time ..just dont give up..
U can take gagabantin and Nirotren but stop the Methadon..not good ..and concerning ur hip ..try Glocezamin it s very good..
And wrote me if u need anything..I send u a mail-.
