Exercise with some reward

Last Thursday, I set out to start exercising regularly again. Before my first major episode, I went to the gym 3-4 times per week, and had set up an at-home alternative in the form of weights and exercise-based videogames.

Foot drop exercise

Wow. When I posted my first post I didn't even notice the search option. 198 results on foot drop lol. Well, my question this time is if you exercise your head off (foot drop-specific exercises), can you make up for years of not knowing what was going on?Or I don't stand a chance?
