(I think I already posted this at the end of another thread.)
I just talked w/ my sister today, who just had Knee replacement surgery on Monday, and discovered yesterday that she now has Footdrop!
I'd like to learn what I can about this, like what can be done, prognosis, etc... Can anyone give me more information about this?
The surgery was to repair a knee that was badly damaged in a car wreck several years ago. I'd like to know how prevailent this is, and is it likely to clear up spontaneously, once the swelling goes down? From what she said, the operation went a lot longer than they had planned, and that may have had something to do with it.
Is there anything that ought to be done in the near or immediate future?
I'd appreciate any info I can get on the subject.
