Driving And Foot Drop.
Driving And Foot Drop.
Hi everyone. I have been driving for over 30 yrs., and not feeling very comfortable driving anymore. I have foot drop on my right side, and wondering if people taking Baclofen who have foot drop have noticed any
improvement?
Hello, I haven't really driven since 2013.. However after about 4 years my foot drop is improving. I noticed riding around in my wheelchair put no pressure on the bottom of my foot and my foot got lazier. Now I fight with my foot to make sure it get s pressure on it. I have just started to drive again.. Short distances.. when I feel my best. I bought a Tesla.. I feel so safe with all the alerts, self driving mode (haven't used that) that I feel very confident. I also drive about 20-25 miles an hour.. The speed limit is about 25 to30.. I have also with my realization bumped up my foot exercises. I'm currently searching for a brace to wear at night that will keep my foot at 100 degrees.
I have lost confidence in driving.
Even thou nothing says it won't work for you.If the dr says you should take it then do it.It never hurt me but it also keeps me limber.
I have been using baclifn ever since I was diagnosed in 1995 and it's not helping me.I have a p.t. cuming 2times a wee and I'm hoping that will help evenly.
Mary, I’ve not seen the movie, but I’ve heard it’s great! Yes sometime I plan to see it! I pray for many things, but I never prayed for a scooter! A friend who went to my church, died a few months ago. Her husband had bought it for her and he passed away before she did. So, the brother-in-law goes to my church as well, he came to my house, asked if I had an electric wheelchair, The answer was no! He said I have Donna’s scooter in my truck and it’s yours if you want it. So I felt like God gave me something that I didn’t even ask for. I am still using a rollater for walking. The scooter is great for long distance. I am encouraged by the word of God. I am trying to have joy every day. The Bible talks so much about joy. The joy of the Lord is my strength. There’s so many Promises in the Bible. I find that when I’m frustrated, then I’m stressed and that affects me and my friends and family. God is a God of love. I know He loves us. John 3:16. He gives me strength every day, to make it through the day. Isaiah 40:29. 2 Corinth.12:9. I Hope You get your strength from the word! Yes, God is a good God! Have a great day, Regina
