Neuropathy with FOLFOX chemotherapy - Stage Three colon cancer

I had oxaliplatin for stage 3 colon cancer three years ago
I developed feet neuropathy immediately after chemo.
I tried acupuncture ( no help), amitriptyline( no help) and pregabalin (Lyrica)
The pregabalin helps me have better stability and much less shooting pains . I take the generic pregabalin not the brand name Lyrica
Good luck

Can we share our recent symptoms these days here @dalc ?
Your comments were helpful to me in the past. Anyone else, mentor comments welcome!

No help here where I live, eg ca support groups, interested MDs etc . Live altitude 9K ft in Ecuador Andes. I have continued with mareada and often very poor balance with lots more nerve pain or self dx CINP than last report in 2023. Positive news: I sleep well. Excellent diet. Overall excellent health.

Have pretty much given up finding answers and try to live with this misery. Stay very active, single, widow 5 years, 80 years . Today's date; 10/31/2025.

Please someone write back. Appreciate input very much! I may try pregabalin generic here... thanks.
