Welcome @pat2628, I'm glad to hear you have found some relief from your CIPN through PT and OT. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a webinar on the condition that you might find helpful.

I only have the numbness and some minor tingling with my neuropathy (not chemo related). I was first given gabapentin but stopped taking it after a week or so because it doesn't do anything for numbness which I found out after my doctor consulted with the rest of my Mayo care team. Can you share a little more about your physical/occupational therapy you had that provided some relief?

I have been going to Pt and Ot in Minnesota for 4 months at least twice a week. I do exercises there and given print outs for home. I have Ulnar nerve damage and the Ulnar Nerve Flossing and Forearm Pronation and Supination with Hammer seem to be helping. You may be able to get these online.
