58yr old female.  In 2002 I had spinal surgery which left me with a total right foot drop.  Foot score of 0/5.   I have had further surgery as my left foot started to drop.  That foot now scores 2/5.  

i don't know anyone with 2 dropped feet.  Struggling at the moment with mobility.  Having to use walking sticks but they're a nightmare when trying to do anything with my hands.  Have a litter picker which is great as I seem to drop everything.  Any support gratefully received.  Has anyone managed to get PIP (Personal Independence Payment).   Unable to drive until I get a car with hand controls.
