Hi guys.

Just wondering if this is drop foot.... when i use my crutches and lift my right leg of the floor, my toes scrap along the floor and i dont seem to be able to get them off.

When my leg is rested, i can lift my foot fine.

Q2.... i get a ridiculous amount of muscle twitches but im not sure if my face it twitching or not! Its like my checks are trembling! Very strange. Is that twitches?

Thanks

    My leg used to drag after a while that's why I bought a stick. My right leg is worse. You need a brace for drop foot its just as it sounds your foot drops. You can walk ok with a brace. Drop foot isn't just experienced by Ms patients. I've found wearing an ankle brace bought from.Lidl helps my ankles bit also helps with dystonia.

    I felt muslce twitches in my legs too, I even saw it moving at one point. But once I moved my leg, the twitching subsided. Where did you get twitching on?
