Default Neuropathy from Chemo

Hi,
My husband had colon cancer and was treated with surgery and chemo, he now has neuropathy in his feet so bad he can hardly walk. He is only 48... we have tried every medicine there is and nothing works. Even paid meds do not touch this pain. Other than a morphine drip attached to him there is nothing else the doctor can do he said except wait and see if it gets better. It has been a year since his last chemo treatment. It has gotten worse since then, not better. We just started seeing an accupuncturist at $125.00 a visit not including the herbal medication they give you. He goes three times a week and each visit is costly. Insurance does not cover this. He also had to go get a special pair of work boots in hoping that will help him as well. If anyone has any suggestions we would love to hear it. So far nothing has helped. He had his 5th accupuncure treatment today.
Thank you
