Neuropathy with FOLFOX chemotherapy - Stage Three colon cancer

Thanks for your comments. Pregabalin I have taken with mixed results. I will try massage and essential oils which
sounds soothing and may help. My neuropathy is mainly in legs / knees down and gentle massage can help some. Hands somewhat pins and needles , not as bad as feet, ankles and lower legs.

One week after my final Folfox session I came down with stabbing, burning pain along my waistline and lower back. I am on week 6 now with no relief. I tried gabapentin, acupuncture, and essential oils with no help. My doctor put up the white flag. Now was told to try lyrica but the side effects scare me. Has anyone tried cbd for pain? I do not know of anyone having the nerve pain in this location. Neither heat nor ice work either. Right now I take an oxicoden at night to sleep

Try magnesium oil for the massage. Like most neuropathy remedies I’m not sure if it’s helping, but I use it on my feet every night. Also taking very low dose Gabepentan and amitriptaline.
