Typically, foot drop is related to nerve damage from a disease process or traumatic injury.

However; It is difficult to diagnose the any structural or physiological etiology without a physical examination and/or advanced imaging. Based on your question, it sounds like you have already visited multiple physicians. If an MRI has not already been ordered - that would be my recommendation. There may also be an indication for a nerve conduction test (NCS).
