Discuss with doctor.: Many cases of the perepheral are ideopathic, meaning no identifiable cause, but chemotheraphy and diabetes are common reasons.You have not mentioned whether you are receiving chemo now and what kind of illness you have now. Post chemotheapy neuropathy can be managed by multiple nerve pain pill including antipressant medications like Duloxetine and anti seizure drugs like gabaoentin.
