You need to ask for a referral to an Orthopaedic Consultant as it could be associated with diabetes.

Foot drop can sometimes be caused by nerve damage linked to diabetes (known as a neuropathy).

This is what your G.P. should have done according to the article.

"Foot drop is often diagnosed during a physical examination. Your GP will look at the way you walk and examine your leg muscles".
