Drop foot

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
