Default New poster please guide

I have FOLFOX induced neuropathy. Chemo ended in November of 2008. 8 months later, the sensation problems became compounded with carpal tunnel-like symptoms which have not resolved after 6 months. It would be helpful if someone could lead me to the posts/threads which will be most valuable to me. I want to know what treatments/therapies have been found to be helpful. There is a lot of information on this here and I know someone knows what I need to read.

Thank you!
Ann

Chemo is a special problem.

The only nutrient I have found in studies to help is Acetyl Carnitine.

Also you will want to look at thyroid functions. Low thyroid can cause both foot PN and carpal tunnel.

Is there any chance your carpal tunnel like symptoms could be a repetitive strain injury?
If a possibility, or if you'd like to learn more about it.
