Since losing the weight - went from max of 19 stone (ish) to a fairly steady weight of just under 13 stone - I have acquired a strange malady.
I seem to be suffering a thing called foot drop.
In short, I have difficulty lifting my left foot in what they call dorsiflexion - pointing the foot up the way - and my big toe on my left foot is basically frozen in that it won't lift at all. Can still curl down the way, but won't lift.
Doc says I will have to go for nerve tests.
Apparently it's something to do with the nerves in my knees.
Anyone else experience such a strange thing ?
(P.S. Doesn't even remotely hurt as such, it's actually more of a slight numbness and the fact that my left foot 'slaps' a bit when I walk.)
