How can I treat chemo-induced neuropathy naturally?

Peripheral neuropathy is a common and challenging side effect that many cancer survivors experience after treatment. While some people explore complementary approaches like gentle exercise, acupuncture, or certain supplements alongside their medical care, it's important to discuss any natural remedies with your oncology team first to ensure they're safe and won't interfere with your recovery. Many community members have shared their experiences with managing neuropathy symptoms, so connecting with others who understand this journey can provide valuable insights and support.

Two months since I stopped chemo but still on an immuno drug, Keytruda which also contributes to neuropathy. Hang in there. Avoid gabapentin as it also puts you in a fog. Keep walking and stretching. It helps.

It’s been 18 months since chemo … I’m still dealing with neuropathy in both hands and feet. I take Cymbalta. It helps to walk, stretch, and massage your hands and feet. I have to watch my sugar intake as well. I didn’t even know anything about neuropathy until it showed up after chemo😱 it was a shock but by God’s grace I’m getting through it. I’m cancer free, thank the Lord! And I am looking foward to the day, I’m neuropathy-free 🙏🏽❤️

It's been two months since my last chemo the next following week hospitalized for low potassium and hemoglobin need blood transfusion. Chemo depleted alot from me but I'm still here thank you Jesus I give him the glory. Now I'm just healing, praying and recovery. I had a little neuropathy in my toes and fingers but not too bad was doing the cooling therapy I think that work for me. God be the glory and those that still fighting the fight stay strong we will get through this 🙏🏽 💪🏼

My chemo and ended July 2025, but I am still receiving Keytruda every 6 weeks until July 2027. My hand numbness is much better, just the very tips of my fingers are still tingling. My feet are better than last year, but still numb. My oncologist told me to take a second B12 daily. I took Gabapentin for about 4 months, but it didn't seem to help, so I stopped. I was told the feeling may never come back 100%.
