What Causes Difficulty In Movement Of The Toes In The Right Foot?

I can not bend my toes back the same way I can with my left foot. My right foot is what I called floppy & I am now walking like I m crippled. I m 75 & in great health however this hard to deal with. I have to really pick up my right foot & then it just kind of slaps down on the floor. Nothing hurts at all.

As per your history is concerned you have not mentioned whether this thing happens due to injury recently or not if it is due to past injury please make a X-ray and if no fracture detected then your injury might be due to ligaments ,take a good painkiller if you have no acidity .Manage in a conservative way.Take rest,Give ICE & heat ,Compression and elevate above heart while sleeping on bed if swelling present.Give a bandage in adhesive surgical tape by comparing both left and right in such a way that it will not move more .It will take you minimum one month to heal.Thanks
