I have a similar issue but by foot doesn't flop, I just can't raise it. If I'm standing I can't angle it up at all but I have the numbness aswell.

Hi,
It sounds like it might be similar. Your doctor can tell you for sure.

Hello. Thank you for your post.
It sounds like it might be Drop Foot, though we cannot know. You would need to see a doctor for an evaluation. Foot drop is a term that refers to a weakening of the muscles that allow for flexing of the ankle and toes. This condition causes the individual to drag the front of the foot while walking. To compensate for this dragging, the patient will bend the knee to lift the foot higher than in a normal stride (high steppage gait). Foot drop typically affects the muscles responsible for moving the ankle and foot upward, specifically the anterior tibialis, extensor halluces longus, and extensor digitorum longus.
