What Causes Restricted Movement In The Foot?
My husband Dallas Graham has had a foot and toes that do not move easily, one and one half weeks ago he stumbled because the foot did not want to pick up. Today the right foot seems to be doing the same thing. He has been in the hospital for RSV about two weeks ago. He has had a recent hart scan and his heart is working fine. Yesterday he had a vein or artery to his kidney opened. all went well. His primary care person says the foot has nothing to do with all of this. She wanted an MRI but that can t be done until a month after his last procedure . Do we need to just wait it out until monday or what do we do? He his fine and has had no other symptoms .

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As you have told the condition I feel that he is suffering from foot drop condition which occurs due to nerve supplying to muscles of anterior compartment of leg gets impacted or is not conducting normally. So kindly have NCV test done for the nerve and seek the help of physiotherapist as muscle stimulator machine really helps.
Kindly continue treatment for one month (on daily basis) and feel free to contact once you have done treatment. There are various exercises that also help in the condition which we can discuss later.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
