Can you have foot drop in both feet?

[Chelenae]

I have foot drop and have worn a AFO on my left for the last 2 years. I am now having some of the same symptoms in my right foot. I never thought about it before, but can you end with braces on both feet?!?

If that's a possibility, please, everyone tell me that I will still be able to walk with "just" my walker.

Thanks for listening

Yes, you can have it in both legs. Your neurologist needs to know so an MRI can be investigated. It may just be harder to use your walker, but you can.

Physical therapy will help you work with your upper legs to decrease the foot drop. Swimming helps. There are lots of things you can do before the dreaded chair.

Keep fighting and exercising. I hope things turn around for you.

MS is an equal opportunity employer! Yes unfortunately it can happen. AFO's for both legs? Not pretty but it gets you where you are going. Good luck.
