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

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.

OK so it's not neuropathy. At least you can put that aside, although bad luck as regards the hands. Some people get away with repetitive exposures over years and years, some don't.
Hopefully your surgeon can rectify.

Feet... is it even neuropathy. Sounds more like a pinched nerve. Again, perhaps it can be fixed.
Pray for a good outcome.
