How To Treat Difficulty In Walking After An Epidural Blood Patch?

Hello. My daughter had an epidural blood patch 3 months ago and when she left there she couldn't stand or walk weakness in the legs and has some circulation problems with feet. So she has been inpatient rehab and now that their working with her walking she walks on tiptoes and can't get heel to touch ground. And they tried the boots on her feet and I think they were to heavy for her feet or something because now one of her feet lays sideways. What could be the cause for all this

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, as you said that she had epidural patch, (The chances of trauma is likely) so now she must be in a need of gait training that would give satisfactory result, she has to continue this therapy for long period, take care have nice day.
