@susanafc - Though not great news your input is appreciated. Would you mind sharing what medications you have tried that were not effective? Thanks.

@jaspithill1946 I tried accupuncture, massage (It feels good but does nothing for neuropathy), gabapentin, magnesium lotion, B12, magnesium. However, I know that none of these can fix the nerves that were damaged by the drugs. They can only help to make the resulting symptoms feel "better".
I find that walking makes the legs feel more limber. I use Therabody compression Jetboots. They don't fix the problem but the compression feels good, I also massage my legs when I'm sitting.
When I get jittery legs at night, one ibuprofen seems to help for some unknown reason.
Good luck in relieving the symptoms. I hope time will also help you.
