Foot drop/swelling

I have severe foot drop due to a motor neuropathy and use an AFO. After several months now I am having problems with swelling ankle and toes.
My neurologist says this is normal due to the lack of circulation and fluid build up…. What are your feelings?
Thank you

    This is a very likely cause of your problem. You might consider wearing support hose. Jobst is the gold standard of support hose. A well supplied pharmacy should carry support hose.
