Has anyone had a foot drop come on all of a sudden? I have had a bad back for 5 years with a protruding disc but have managed it . I went skying 3 weeks ago and a couple days later developed a foot drop. I can’t pick up/flex my foot and my leg muscles are very weak. I also have a herniated disc’s but they say that is not related. Any help is appreciated as I feel a bit hopeless!

      Is that the only problem the protruding disc that you have with the back problem? I have been told that if you have a problem between a third and fourth vertebrae it might affect the nerve that goes to the foot, I believe it is the peroneal nerve.
