Hi Angie @angiepainter -- welcome to Connect. I also have peripheral neuropathy but I only have the numbness. There is another discussion you may want to join in and meet other members who are discussing chemo induced neuropathy.

I take over the counter supplements that have helped me some and have helped others with the pain from neuropathy. You can read my story here in an earlier post on Connect for what helps me: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-here-dealing-with-peripheral-neuropathy/?pg=42#comment-65985

You mentioned that you have tried physical therapy. Have you heard of myofascial massage therapy? There is a great discussion here about how it helps with the pain associated with neuropathy and other conditions:

After I had 2 strokes in 14 then along came neuropathy. Neuropathy seems to attach itself to anything that will allow it. The last time I increased Gabapentin, for the pain, I had dizziness so I went back to what I was taking, I feel the pain was better. The pain I have is all over, the right foot, then the left calf, then nothing for a while. I wake up in the morning burning all the way to my waist, the skin is not hot but I'm still burning. Neuropathy is "so much fun".
