I cant bend it fully forward, in the maner of pointing it up towards my head, and part of the top of my foot is a bit numb. My stride has changed, and my foot flops a little bit. Ive stumbled and fell a few times as well. What does this sound like?

Does your back bother you at all? I ask because it sounds like you have dropfoot, which is a symptom rather than a condition in and of itself. I mostly come across it in connection with back problems such as disk herniation or stenosis, but it can also be associated with other injuries. Whatever the case may be, it is imperative that you get to a doctor right away. If you can't be seen within the next 24-48 hours, you should go to the emergency room or an urgent care center for evaluation, as this can be a very serious neurologic problem.

It sounds like you need to see an Orthopedic Surgeon or a Podiatrist.
Just stop asking for medical advice at Yahoo Answers.
We are only a little bit more educated than your run of the mill witch doctor, so don't risk it.
You should know better.

It doesn't sound good. You need to get to the doctor and fast, you could be having the beginning signs of a stroke. Which are but not only: paralysis (usually on one part of the body on one side of the body), limited limb movement, bad motor control.
Please seek a doctor immediately, like now...it could save your life!
