What Kind Of Testing Should Be Done For Neuropathy In Toes?

I have neuropathy in my toes, most likely from chemo received in 2010. But lately my entire right foot seems to be "asleep" . Noticed while walking, the right foot seems to flop as it hits the ground.
What kind of testing is done for this type of problem???

There are two test which i would recommend you for this. First get MRI of spine and other EMG/NCV of right leg. We have to find out if nerve compression at spine is causing this problem. some time if both reports are normal than non compressive myelopathy like vitamin B 12 deficiency can be cause of such symptoms.
