I am sorry to hear your neuropathy has made you unsteady while walking. I started with cold therapy right away on my first chemo session and have been doing it for all since then. The issue I am having is not in my feet but in my shins. I think the drug pools there instead of going down to my feet. Do you take anything like gabapentin to help with the neuropathy? I have seen others talk about using gabapentin. Sending you prayers for healing and stability.

My husband was taking gabapentin, but did not seem to be helping. Dr now has him on duloxitine... but same thing, unknown if it is helping. His neuropathy has gotten severe so walking is difficult. I've got a walker for him... so far he thinks he is ok with a hiking pole. But there are times that I wish he was using the walker as he is very unsteady. He's afraid a wheel chair is in his future.
