Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your complaints and nerve conduction study findings.
As per the report, there is severe damage to the perineal nerve on the right side and partial damage to the tibial nerve on the right side.
These findings explain the reason for your foot drop.
Recovery may be slow and incomplete. You should continue regular physiotherapy and use ankle foot arthosis.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
