A neurologist did some EMG type tests mostly because I have foot drop from nerve damage in my lower legs and feet. I can wiggle my left big toe, but not the right one where I have the foot drop. I did wear a AFO for about a year. She said the nerve damage was from being pre-diabetic. It doesn't seem to have gotten any worse. I also have CVI issues in my lower legs. I don't recall ever being given any type of "official" neuropathy diagnosis, but all I know is that the PreGabalin makes things a lot more bearable.
