Neurontin helped mine. Ask your doctor about it. My oncologist wasn't very helpful, quite frankly. I had to go to a pain specialist.

It is usually not permenant when related to chemo. Unfortunately, our current modalities ofchemo cannot differentiate between the cancer cells and normal cells in our body. So all cells especially the ones that divide rapidly like hair cells , skin cells, nerve cells get affecte. This causes a lot of unwanted side effects. Although there is no particular time frame, you will probaby start noticing some improvement in a few weeks. In the mean time, if it is peripheral neuropathy (affecting your feet or arms) make sure you keep them protected so you avoid injury.Simple things like shoes even inside the house will help.Check for any abraisions or skin breakage and get prompt treatment for the same. And remember, the pros outweigh the cons as far as your chemo goes. So hang in there and i'm sure you'll come out on top. good luck.
