Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy: Will It Improve?

I’m currently going thru neuropathy, gets worst for me at nights. I moisturize both hands and feet extremely well before bed due to skin stripping as well. Speak with your oncologist regarding medication to control the neuropathy.

Thank you DJ for your response

I have neuropathy already (before treatment). Gabapentin is all I can do to save myself from terrible pain in my legs and feet. It's important to know that neuropathy is caused by damaged nerves, and it is degenerative. This means it will continue to progress. Sometimes in severity or up to and including spreading to other areas. Cbd lotions or oils are a good alternative if you don't want her on more medicine. Sending all the positive vibes to you and your Mom.

Please get her to a physical therapist. I learned that there are oncology physical therapist. Try to find that for her

Look for hand therapy equipment on Amazon. The therapy putty is great.

Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy affects many people and can vary greatly from person to person - some experience gradual improvement over months or years, while others may have lingering symptoms that require ongoing management. It's encouraging that you're advocating for your mother and seeking answers, as discussing these concerns with her oncologist or a neurologist can help determine the best approach for managing her specific symptoms and exploring available treatment options.
