Okay Annie,
I recognize the foot swinging out, foot drop, lack of stability (having gone / still going through those things myself). The quick test for proprioception is stand feet together, eyes closed… can you stand for a minute like that ? 2 ? 3 minutes ? 1 year ago I couldn’t manage 3 seconds, now I can do 3 minutes. Careful not to fall over while doing the test !!
If you fare badly at this test, then report back, and I’ll know for sure what we’re dealing with. Good luck, Roland
