Is it neuropathy related to chemo or is it carpal tunnel?

Neuropathy generally starts in the feet and lower legs.

Have you been doing anything over a long period that might have caused carpal tunnel? You would know...
With me it's tendonitis from years of DIY, driving screws by hand, drilling holes by hand.
I use a power screwdriver now, if I go back to hand driving my forearm soon reminds me.

I did hair for almost 25 years. I knew at some point it would be a possibility. It's just that it all started about the same time so it's hard to tell if it's chemo related. I believe it's carpal tunnel and the neuropathy in feet is related to my back. As soon as I put a back brace on, I start getting the feeling back in my toes. I can do maneuvers lying down too and change position with back and I get feeling back in toes. It's the three end toes on each foot and the soles of my feet. My pain management doctor is aware of it though.
