Seeking Help for Neuropathy Pain After Taxol Treatment

Will be watching for replies. I’m to start Taxol end of the month. I enjoy playing bass and don’t need neuropathy!

There’s an ointment I saw called Mama Bear that is supposed to really helpful for neuropathy. I always found gabapentin to be a useless drug. I also have a medical grade CBD ointment that worked very well after a nerve pain issue from a cath lab procedure.

Cymbalta

My husband has neuropathy from chemo and they put him on cymbalta. It seemed to help but he had to stop it because he has no kidneys and dialysis’s doesn’t remove it from his body. So I’d give that a try

They gave me Meloxicam it seems to be working better for me than any other. It’s for nerve and joint pain.

Update.. neuropathy hit this Taxol user, especially in my feet. I’ve got some tingling in my fingers; hoping it doesn’t progress. Will be watching for any other solutions our community has found.

I know I sound silly but I started compression hose. I don’t feel the neuropathy at all I can feel my toes

Cannabis is the only thing that has helped with my pain.

Neuropathy pain from chemotherapy can be incredibly challenging to manage, and it's completely understandable to seek additional relief options when current medications aren't providing enough comfort. Many community members have found success with various approaches including physical therapy, acupuncture, topical treatments, and working closely with their care team to adjust medication combinations - hopefully others will share what has worked for them in their own pain management journey.
