I am 20 years old and think i may have what people keep calling 'floppy foot'?

I can not lift my right foot from the ankle, i first had what felt like a strained muscle down the front of my shin and across my toes. This has eased off a bit but cannot turn my foot inwards without xtreme pain. When walking i find myslf lifting my leg higher from the knee in order to compensate for the floppy foot. When putting shoes on my toes get curled up under my foot and i am unable to straighten them. I had this last year for 2months or so but not as extreme.

I am planing to visit my GP over the next week but just wondered if you may be able to advise me if there is anything i can do? Is it something serious or just one of those things? It feels as though the doctor fobbs me off sometimes, so it is something i shud push at?

Any info would be much appreciated.
