Hi I experienced foot drop as a real problem...Dangerous too when it makes you fall....I floor faced planted lots, before I lost all mobility.
Had a run in with a glass porch too and mashed my mouth,teeth, tongue...not a pleasant way to pass an afternoon!
I was wrongly diagnosed with MS, HSP and am going for further tests next month...even though it is 20 years since I first started with the problem.
I`ve know people have a gadget called a FES.......it`s an electrical thingy you put in your shoes....it can be wired or wireless.
Some local area health authorities supply it for free...others charge around £800.
Try GP again, tell them you still have problems.
