Have you tried taking alpha Lipoic acid, Acetyl l carnitine, and magnesium supplements plus tried lidocaine/magnesium creams? Have you talked to a dietitian/nutritionist about diet and supplements to determine what you need nutritionally to support nerve health and healing? Have you had your blood tested for any vitamin deficiencies/toxicities contributing to your nerve pain from chemo toxicity?

Been taking ALA since before surgery, radiation and chemo infusion and Keytruda. Pain Specialist recently doubled my morphine of 30mg per tablet, now am and pm. Not noticeable improvement. Usually supplement with Extra trenth Tylenol mid-day. Sometimes toss down IBU or 2. Twice a day Ducofenac to end half of feet. Helps some. Walking, standing not fun. Had mild stroke in March. No after effects fortunately. Visit physical therapist was one exam and bye. Did provide exercise regimen...
